So you thought FireFox was the most secure web browser?

Postby webmaster on Fri Nov 13, 2009 9:38 pm

Two times a year, the American company Cenzic presents a report where attacks, bugs and security issues that have been discovered on the internet are being presented. The most recent reports include number from the first half of 2009, and it is not any good numbers for Firefox.

Most of the reports are from SQL-injections and such, so only 8 percent of the cases are regarding web browsers, but among these 8 percent, the web browser has 44 percent of the problems and Apple Safari has 35 percent. IE and Opera does best with 15 and 6 percent.

interesting...i hope no IE flame-throwers come in with some other reports that show how bad IE is.

i still use IE for most browsing but firefox and chrome are always installed and used a couple times a day.
