I like Google Chrome better. it loads faster on my quad core system and its a lot simpler which would be bad for some people but I can live with it.

Yahoo! has been providing a custom IE browser since IE7 came out with pretty much that sales pitch. This is nothing new.

(BTW: TechCrunch suggests that that recommendation was due to the fallout of the Yahoo! requisition deal - a shot across the bow, so to speak.)

Gah - acquisition!

Doesn’t matter… people are too uneducated to care.
Voluntarily so.

A browser is only as safe as you make it. It takes a security conscious web browser - which both Firefox and IE8 attempt to be. Then add in a machine that is properly secured with the right apps - and hopefully the user is not trolling through highly infested waters on the web.

hmm. how about we just use.. our hands, phones, faces, etc. social interaction is lost in software, broken APIs, hackers, phreaks and browser wars.

i prefer Firefox 3
simple, safe, and i know the way to optimize it..
Chrome..? i try it later

Any company that actually recommends Internet Explorer must be getting paid for their services by Microsoft.

I have yet to hear one real person tell me what a delight it is to design a page using only features that Internet Explorer supports.

Actually, it’s usually either two versions of the site, or hacks to get IE to not try and process anything it’s too stupid to handle.

Thank you for all of the comments. I also believe it doesn’t really matter which browser you use. It is the user who controls how safe, or not safe, they surf.

Barring 158 security holes, 22 of which are unpatched?

http://secunia.com/advisories/product/11/

88 vulnerabilities with 9 unpatched?

http://secunia.com/advisories/product/12366/

12 with 2 unpatched (It’s only been 5 months, give IE 8 a chance, it’ll accumulate more)

How about 2 with 0 unpatched? (Firefox 3.5)

Open source security bugs never last long in a high profile project. IE bugs can go on for years and Microsoft only patches them AFTER the damage is done.

I am sorry I will not use Internet Exploder, I like firefox better.
