Default Attention: Everybody. Your Browser is Insecure. Deal With It.

Chrome is the most secure browser...

According to this article here - Browser hacking contest....

http://technologizer.com/2009/03/20/...e-deal-with-it

Which is very much in contrast to an article which I refered to earlier this year here at Computer Juice -

http://www.computer-juice.com/forums...ty-score-20939

As stated in the article, take heed....

There are less secure browsers and more secure browsers, but there’s no such thing as a fully secure browser
Just because a browser is more secure in one way - if you intentionally go out and visit malicious or dubious sites then you will get infected!!

Safe browsing is a must

Enjoy the read!

Hmm.. interesting.. was that Chrome in or out of "Incognito"? Or does it even make any odds to security?

How does the "Incognito" feature work? Does it just use a proxy server without it actually showing you the suffix or prefix or popup on your screen or anything?

Chrome has fewer features which probably makes it more secure. Won't be that way forever...

re: Chrome security: Remember the first week Chrome came out and one Javascript line prompted an automatic download of any file (executable or otherwise) to a given directory?
