    Yep....actually, it's all about compatibility, that's why I use IE Shells. I don't need to protect ME from myself, so no worries ;)

    go to secunia
    **fixed spelling error as per Evolution's post.

    whats important if the vunlerbilites have been patched:

    opera (my favorite browser, using Opera 9.5b1 - its almost as stable as 9.25)
    http://secunia.com/product/10615/
    (OPERA 9.2x) 0 % unpatched

    firefox 19% unpatched
    http://secunia.com/product/12434/

    IE 32% unpatched
    http://secunia.com/product/12366/

    Konqueror 14% unpatched
    http://secunia.com/product/3166/

    opera is fantastic - its real tab browsing, full text history search, address bar key letter search, advanced tab functions, etc...and may i also say that IE's new zoom function was a rip off opera's...
    ps. a browser SHOULD NOT have to force the internet to comply to it - the browser should comply to the internet.
    one last rant...at the auto-cad workstations at my school IE-7 is a disaster - always 100% CPU - yeah I know that its probably a configuration problem, but we can't do a thing.
    IE just sucks.

    It's secunia not securina ;) This is the info I linked to in my previous post for the users to compare the browsers; glad to see someone else uses them.

    "Firefox 3 is based on the new Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 30 months and includes nearly 2 million lines of code changes, fixing more than 12,000 issues" - mozilla.com

    There will be at least two more betas of Firefox 3 prior to release (or to a release candidate). The schedule calls for a beta 4 and beta 5. Peruse mozilla.org for the information for developers. Here is the beta 5 schedule.
