The thing is, most people have Macs that use Safari.

And when a hacker breaks in through Safari, they see the Unix-like mac system and they're like hhuuuuhhh whuuuut duuhhhh and then they give up and go program a virus for a windows computer.

Wow, this article is a huge restating of the OBVIOUS.

Firefox + Noscript + Adblock Plus (w/filterset g updater) = safest browser out there.

7 - am I the only one...
this is just my personal preference and opinion. I prefer IE more than FF! I've used previous version of FF and I don't like it! in terms of safety and everything, we do have anti-virus and firewalls for that very matter right? call me weird or anything but I kinda like ads (not pop-ups) in websites because they make websites look more 'alive'!

but I prefer Maxthon (I don't know if any of you here ever heard about it) over any browser out there! it's the most robust and flexible browser available! (again, opinion!) I suggest everyone of you to give it a try if you haven't. the only thing bugging me about it is it does not support real player 11 plug-in! I've been using real player 11 to download lots of online videos and I am using IE for that matter.

but it's always good for the options to be there for us to choose, right? so, rejoice and good day to everyone!!
