To mkis, YoKenny, hello 123 and all other psosters in this thread.
Consider this opinion from a browser hacker par excellence and his opinion about the Google Chrome browser, some facts that cannot be easily denied even how hard it may be to realize IE is a years and years old concept that was only uphauled with IE8 not changed, same old wine into a new bag...and so the use of IE6 is still endangering all the users of safer and more secure browsers online....
The new security feature that Google Chrome brings is sandboxing, and this is the prediction about sandboxing in appl. for 2010:
http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/i-have-only-one-security-prediction-2010-010610Here GoogleChrome is the browser trendsetter, Fx has landed at separate tab launching only at version 3.7.Drive-by-downloads and malicious e-mail attachments are to-days main threats. This because a malcreant is an opportunist and select the weakest spot in the defense where they can circumvent any firewall. Security is not about SYN packet monitoring, no, the attack surface is minimized by a Fw, it does not do one thing about the desktop that is connected out to the Internet. That makes sandbozing that important, my dear malware fighters, because it seperates supicious data from user's data - it makes the attacker has a more difficult task to perform to succeed. Protected Mode of IE is a right step towards that, but Google Chrome performs much better here, because Google understand that the browser equals the Operational System, that IE = explorer alias browser=system. And using this priciple in a browser they have built from scrap is a gigantec step forward where browser security is concerned. Davi Zovi therefore means GoogleChrome in these respects is the leader of the pack..
