Microsoft flags Firefox and Chrome for security failings

from WinCustomize Forums

Microsoft has unveiled a website aimed at raising awareness of browser security by comparing the ability of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome to withstand attacks from malware, phishing, and other types of threats.

It looks like this site gives any browser besides IE bad marks. Looks like all MS is trying to do is spread FUD around about other browsers.

"We do not have any data for your browser, so we can't give your browser a score."

That's because Opera is incompatible with the internet to the point where malware is afraid of it. Deal with it! :hrmph:

If one of the other browser developers did the same thing no doubt it would show their browser above the rest.  

At the end of the day what this means is the individual is the only one responsible for security on their computer.  The software is not what is keeping the user safe.

Funny how they can give Chrome a lower score, yet when i went there it told me that a score couldn't be given as they had no data on my browser.

hmmmm.... Google Chrome user here :p

I still use IE5. The internet hasn't changed in the last ten years (still smutty) so why should your browser ;p

So they made a test that is based on the things that IE9 can do?

Really, this site tells us only how much like IE9 other browsers are...

Chrome is currently faster than IE9... and chrome and IE9 are both top browsers i like em both while chrome is a little more in use since i google a lot it simplifies searching for me so i dont have to go to google and type in what iam looking for i simply use the adressfield.
But that page has one of the best designs i have seen in years no scrolling and evereything is nice and focused but i guess tastes differ

I don't use Chrome. It's an annoying browser. I like all of the extensions Firefox offers along with the layout. I like having a drop down menu for my bookmarks near the File and Edit buttons. Chrome does not have this.
