Don't use IE says Microsoft.

Wouldn't dream of it.... Firefox on Ubuntu thank you very much..... (Firefox on XP when I'm working).

You would be amazed at how many companies still force their employees to use ie6.

It's a stress at work and human rights issue.

Personally I prefer Chrome....

Did you notice on the article - Chrome is tied in last place with Safari for security

I did notice - for password security.

But the advantage of having such a fast browser....

My second favourite browser is of course Safari (I'm a mac user by choice).

Firefox is good for work as I can take screenshots and comment on them which is swell....

Safari for Windows. Not on a Mac.

Am I relatively safe if I'm working through a router with a firewall?

but it's supposedly a password-security issue with IE7 that Richard Wray is writing about in this article. It's a strange article - the security study he cites was done by a very small consulting company using interesting methodologies: pass/fail tests for mutually exclusive features being scored as though they were independent http://www.info-svc.com/news/2008/12-12/

You cannot possibly reconcile concern about the issues addressed in this article with use of Chrome as a browser.

FWIW I use IE7 at work, and a mixture of IE7 and Firefox at home. I hate Firefox 3 with a vengeance - its instability and general crankiness led me to return to IE7 as I couldn't get FF2 to reinstall.

you're relatively safe period unless you habitually access Chinese internet gaming sites with a password that you've saved within IE7's automatic password system.

Nope.

You're relatively safe if you use firefox and don't click on dodgy looking links like this one:

I personally feel that there's a slight exaggeration in security issues, as long as one is careful where one browses...

Ta. I don't frequent Chinese gaming sites and my Norton/Spy Sweeper subscriptions are up to date.

I have to confess to being a recent and passionate convert to Chrome. Well fast.

I find FF3 very good, the only 2 times it's crashed on me were during YouTube sessions. I use Chrome as my second choice browser mainly for YouTube now.

What's great in Chrome is only having one box for both URLs and Google search - I get all confused now in Safari & FF

I have a warning about Chrome. I downloaded it, messed around a bit. Decided I couldn't be bothered to figure out how to get my favourites in those boxes at the top. Uninstalled it.

Then I discovered that none of the links in emails in Outlook Express worked as links. By googling the problem, I concluded that my file associations had been changed. Sure enough, the one that should have said ".....iexplore.exe" now said something about "Chrome". So even though I had gone into the control panel and uninstalled Chrome, it didn't fix this. I had to change everything back myself.

That kind of thing really bugs me and it will be a long time before I bother with Chrome again - if ever. I have heard from other people that they found lots of glitches.
