Study Ranks Mozilla Firefox Third for Browser Security, Chrome First

Chrome is just way to 'utilitarian' for me

Chrome is just way to 'utilitarian' for me

How so?

P.S.

I'm using Opera right now after years of not using it and holy shit is it fast!

[Teh One Who Knocks]

How so?

It's still not as customizable as FF is and I don't like the 'feel' of it. I have it on my PC, I just rarely use it

Got ya. I'll check it out later and see how it runs.

I had a really bad experience with IE a few years ago and I have not doubt that it's improved but I don't want to risk a virus or adware or malware or the bs. I don't have any problems with ff and adblock plus. None whatsoever.

The chrome web store? Seriously?

The chrome web store? Seriously?

Gotta have a catchy name

There's a lot more extensions available for it now than there used to be (I'm on Chrome now)

[DemonGeminiX]

It seems like they're just copying Apple. And there are some things you actually have to buy.

I mean... seriously?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I haven't seen any paid ones yet

[DemonGeminiX]

Mad Skills Motocross costs $4.99.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I don't count games

I found a NoScript type extension for Chrome and just added it...maybe I'll try out Chrome for awhile now. Seems pretty fast too

[DemonGeminiX]

Well, it is fast...

Because nobody cares about fringe browsers

Fringe users do.

Fringe browsers? Opera's been around for a long time, dude. I haven't used it in a while, but when I was using it back in the day, nothing could compare to it's speed.

I like you.

Who cares about the market share when it can wipe the floor with the competition?

I really like you.

And the opinion of a lot of people, or else more people would be using Opera

Game, set, and match


See, Opera people are under the same false assumption that crApple people are....you know why nobody actively looks for Opera exploits? Because nobody uses it.

Actually, Opera is very proactive in its security, whereas Apple tends to be somewhat complacent. But, and I've said the very same thing about Apple myself, being fringe is the best security of all.

There's a lot more people using Opera than you realize.

That's true because Opera is popular on phones, and also because the desktop version of Opera identifies itself as IE by default. I don't know why. But many web analytics do not correctly ID all versions of Opera.

IE9's a lot better than the previous versions of IE. It really is an improvement. You may want to give it a whirl.

I haven't messed around with Chrome yet, either, but I may look into it after having read this article. Not that I buy into anything the article has stated, but it's got me thinking about it now.

Chrome is a good second browser. It's not really primary browser ready unless you are far from picky. It is however, a really solid main browser for people who don't use the internet much and do not want to fuss about with settings.

I'm using Opera right now after years of not using it and holy shit is it fast!

Man hug~!! Are you using 11.60?
