    Good info. I've heard of Pale Moon but never used it. It's based off Firefox isn't it? My default browser is Chrome, secondary is Firefox. This is a very dangerous vulnerability given the number of folks that still use IE. What's scarier, is those on XP won't get a fix...

    Does not affect me. I never use IE it is horrible, fuzzy fonts, broken images and broken pages. Just use Firefox and Chrome and be done with it.

    Good news. I guess since it was ultimately an IE vulnerability they gave it a pass this time.
