Story: Mozilla hits back at browser security claim
Posted by: Anonymous (Wednesday 2 November 2005, 4:23 PM)
What the hell is this symantec 'expert' talking about to another 'expert' journalist????
Accept it, Symentec and Miki$oft - Mozilla is more secure simply by virtue of not running Active X. Even in IE if you disable active X, it still pops up annoying dialogs warning you that it's disabled. Stupid idiot microblow$ 'engineers' thought it would be helpful. Morons - It's not helpful, it's idiotic. Also, what about stupid BHO (browser helper objects), etc, etc that makes IE a virus factory???? What pisses me off most about IE is that I can get infected by just browsing a site and not even know about it. It happened to me several times. I stopped using IE as my main browser. I use Mozilla. yes, it's slower, I don't care. It won't screw me like IE and I don't require multi-gigabyte patchset hotfixes from micro-ooze via 'automatic' updates.
Like the rest of Micro$oft's OS, IE is shit. It has always been shit and will always be shit. I am forced to use Microsoft's OSes every day because the applications that I need do not run under Unix. If that ever changes, Bill Gates will get a hot lava enema from the market place. Have a nice day, you all, omega geeks.
