The Epic War of Browsers
,----[ Quote ]
| Since Symantec released its report in
| 2005, Microsoft lobbyists have quoted the
| old document to make people believe that
| Internet Explorer is the safest browser
| today. Their idea is to tell users that
| Mozilla Firefox might make one's computer
| vulnerable to attacks.
|
| Symantec, the company that flags Norton
| Antivirus, stated back then that there
| were 25 vulnerabilities in Firefox while
| Internet Explorer had only 13. This is the
| part that supporters of IE love to repeat.
| The part that they don't want us to
| consider is this:
|
| 1. The Mozilla Foundation started in 2003,
| so Firefox was a fairly young browser back
| then. Yet, its problems were solved in a
| period of THREE DAYS. Some of the noted
| problems of IE are still there today.
|
| 2. From the 25 problems in Firefox, only 8
| were considered as real threats by
| Symantec ...the SAME NUMBER OF PROBLEMS
| THAT WERE FOUND IN INTERNET EXPLORER. This
| means that the young Mozilla product and
| Microsoft's 10-year-old browser WERE TIED
| REGARDING PERFORMANCE.
|
| 3. According to Secunia (a Danish company
| that checks the security of software
| products), up to 2010, IE keeps a total of
| 19 vulnerabilities that have not been
| fixed, while Firefox has only 3.
