Firefox SUCKS....right?

[CaptNKILL]

Everything has an end including Firefox. Right now it's better than IE because less people use it so there's less exploits and spyware. If everyone would use Firefox, more people would go back to IE because there'd be less spyware.

While I like Firefox (I use it), it's similar to saying Linux is safer than Windows. It's just safer than Windows because the userbase of Windows is a million times bigger. Nothing is perfect.

No activeX in FireFox, AT ALL. That's safer for the average joe. Period.

I've used IE for about five years now. I just recently grabbed Spybot, Adaware, MS Antispyware, and AVG anti-virus to check my setup.

Nothing was going wrong, I just wanted to see, and so I ran all the programs one after the other (each fully updated, of course.)

The results: a tracking cookie detected by Adaware and that searchsquire registry entry detected by MS antispyware.

The searchsquire entry is actually just info for the OS telling it that the site is untrusted and tracking cookies are harmless.

Delete your cookies and they are gone. Hardly spyware.

Needless to say, this is a pretty damn clean system.

<Note to reader> When a window I don't like asks me "yes" or "no" I don't click anywhere on it, I just alt F4 it or right click it in the taskbar and select "close". I never use anything provided by the window, as a "close" X can be an "ok" button in disguise. It's worked like a charm.

thats partially true. the UNIX system is more secure in general than the DOS system is. also, windows has gaping security flaws. i read an article once questioning why anyone would write an OS for DOS.

i ran Slackware 10.0 for a while and noticed that the best part was how none of the things that are terrible for you run in UNIX (exe files).
