crn.com— Mozilla Firefox fans might rest a little easier these days after a study released Tuesday revealed that its users are most secure on the Internet.

I'd still reckon the competence of the user is at least as important as the competence of the software. People who click on dodgy scam links can expect to get screwed.That said, I do really like Firefox's unobtrusive updater and the speed they get patches out. I've never been hesitant to let it update... unlike with Microsoft stuff (I keep Windows updates disabled - is that foolish of me? Meh).
Firefox is the only protection I need. I have been using Firefox on this computer for over a year without any form of virus, malware, or spyware protection. Yesterday, out of curiosity, I installed a few programs to scan my computer for infections and they came up with absolutely nothing. Thanks Firefox!

There is no reason to believe that study was unfair for IE because it was done by Google and IBM.

Opera is actually most secure. FYI

Woohoo. Just because it is bloated, it is still using Gecko engine. We like e-mail, newsgroup, etc. bundled together.
