Do you love FireFox?

**DefaultMan** · 11-10-2009, 09:06 AM

I used to but now I use Chrome (not because of your thread)

**VikingMan** · 11-10-2009, 09:08 AM

Firefox works like dogshit on my mac. I use Safari and am happy.

**bad_influence** · 11-10-2009, 09:11 AM

I like it a lot more then IE (does IE even have tabs yet?)and I just havn't used Chrome enough to know about it.

Safari is on 2nd place by overall vulnerability. So congrats

I didn't care for Safari so I use FF on my Mac.

**TheDoc** · 11-10-2009, 09:18 AM

I like chrome...

I use firefox the most though, with no script... so I'm back to leading the pack with security.

**michael.kickass** · 11-10-2009, 09:20 AM

Firefox is the most vulnerable because it's the most used. Same thing happens with Windows in relation to MAC OS or Linux.

**stickyfingerz** · 11-10-2009, 09:21 AM

Ya I don't buy that graph at all. IE is way more insecure than FF, I only use FF for certain things anymore, use chrome 95% of the time and it rocks.

**Farang** · 11-10-2009, 09:22 AM

Yes, I do...

**fatfoo** · 11-10-2009, 09:22 AM

Most vulnerable ever? That sucks. I do believe there are more bugs in Firefox.

**Sid70** · 11-10-2009, 09:23 AM

Chrome. We've been googled.

**jigg** · 11-10-2009, 09:24 AM

i've all but quit firefox and moved to chrome

**Farang** · 11-10-2009, 09:25 AM

What advantages does Chrome have against FF?

**bronco67** · 11-10-2009, 09:26 AM

I love it so much, the first thing I did when I got my new Windows 7 laptop, was to use IE to go get Firefox.

then i erase the fucking shortcut to IE, and hopefully I never see it again.

Speed, resource usage, to use a mac phrase... lol "It just works".

I use firefox for the tasks I use plugins for, thats bout it these days.

**sexy-frenchie** · 11-10-2009, 09:36 AM

I don't love it, but I do lick it (especially with all its add-ons).
Yummy!

**stephane76** · 11-10-2009, 09:40 AM

I am chrome Lover

**Horny Dude** · 11-10-2009, 10:07 AM

After the recent updates Firefox went to shit. I use Chrome now.

**magbiz** · 11-10-2009, 10:10 AM

I like FF more then IE ... but from time to time I use Opera or Safari, they are a little bit faster ...

**Gordon1** · 11-10-2009, 10:10 AM

FireFox is the best for now.

**tiger** · 11-10-2009, 10:17 AM

Nothing is ever 100% secure. If you configure FF right the security is plenty good.

FF is a better browser in every other way, no way would I switch back to IE just because at this moment in time it just happens to be slightly more secure. The security issue seems to go back and forth between versions. IE will get attacked more and hit harder because it has a higher percentage of users so I still think you have a better chance getting hit using IE. Just like PCs get hit harder then Macs.

Really? You want to say that FF is the most used browser? The second place gos to Safari and only the 3rd - to IE.

**webair** · 11-10-2009, 10:45 AM

recently upgraded to OPERA

It's the best i have used to date =)

Hardly, if you have NoScript and AdBlockPlus addons installed. The way the internet should be.. neutered.

Sounds about right...

**just a punk** · 11-10-2009, 10:51 AM

Not let's get back to the numbers (for those who don't "buy that graph"

)

1) Mozilla Firefox Multiple Vulnerabilities - Highly critical

2) Apple Safari Multiple Vulnerabilities - Highly critical

3) Microsoft Internet Explorer Multiple Vulnerabilities - Highly critical

4) Google Chrome Two Vulnerabilities - Moderately critical

**just a punk** · 11-10-2009, 10:55 AM

Securyty reports by last official version numbers:
Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x = 37 Vulnerabilities
IE8 = 16 Vulnerabilities
Apple Safari 4.x = 9 Vulnerabilities
Google Chrome 3.x = 3 Vulnerabilities

I avoid that whole kettle of fish by not using the internet at all, ever.

**woj** · 11-10-2009, 11:19 AM

What exactly is that graph showing? FF is 44% of exactly what?

**just a punk** · 11-10-2009, 11:23 AM

It's a % of vulnerability among 4 compared browsers by number of discovered ones.

**TheDoc** · 11-10-2009, 11:28 AM

October Stats http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

Firefox: 47.5%

IE8: 12.8%
IE7: 14.1%
IE6: 10.6%
Total: 37.5%

Chrome: 8.0%
Safari: 8.0%
Opera: 2.3%

This from another source. But still, FireFox is 40%+ while IE8 is less than 15%. The numbers say it all.

Likewise and its the best browser I have ever used too. Folks you really need to give it a try as it has some superb features.

Miles better than Firefox.

Agreed. But there are no useful plugins for it, and that is the only problem.

BTW: according to stats, Opera is the most popular browser in Russia (something about 60%-70% of all AFAIR). I don't know why it's not popular in other countries.

**TopbucksMatt** · 11-10-2009, 12:52 PM

that is the most vague graph i've ever seen- how do you quantify a browser's vulnerability to the internet? Looks like something that would scare my grandparents though

**HomerSimpson** · 11-10-2009, 01:01 PM

I use Chromium since I can use roboform with it...

Next time make sure to read the thread before to post your comments.

**CPimp** · 11-10-2009, 01:50 PM

I use firefox to log into some things but mainly use chrome because it works better on my internet (dial up)

**stickyfingerz** · 11-10-2009, 03:15 PM

I completely don't buy that they are including ALL versions of IE either. Is that graph covering back to IE 6 ? And does it include spyware, adware exploits? Cause IE has always been terrible for that.

Did "you" make that graph, where does this data come from? Just the links you posted below and you "compiled" it? lol

**just a punk** · 11-10-2009, 04:20 PM

stickyfingerz, sometimes I'm thinking that you are on some serious drugs, man. I don't mean marijuana but something really strong

**raven1083** · 11-10-2009, 04:53 PM

i love using it

**Loki** · 11-10-2009, 05:56 PM

I use FF and a nice reliable virus software, I would not say that FF is "highly vulnerable" but I have seen a HUGE increase of "ads" that make my virus software go apeshit

-Loki-

So where is your source for this?

**GrouchyAdmin** · 11-10-2009, 07:03 PM

Ain't gonna get no better than A-Web II.

**EthnicLover** · 11-10-2009, 08:35 PM

Enjoying this thread through FF.

**SomeCreep** · 11-10-2009, 08:38 PM

ya is cool
