Checks to see how secure your browser is, I ran the full test (40 different tests) took about 5 min and it seems I have a secure browser.

Browser name: (No IDN) Firefox
Version: 1.0.6
Platform: Windows

How do you guys fair?
*looks at trog and his IE*

O_O
wow, never would have expected that, I guess IE is ok... if you must you it :P

[Almuric]

See! IE isnt as bad as you think. :P

Well it's not really a matter of I must use it. More like staying current with it and how it functions. The good the bad and everything in between. I don't know of any buisness that uses anything else but IE. I used FireFox and Avant and a few others. I liked the two I just mentioned the most. But I have chosen to stay with IE because of where my career is going. Whenever I talk to a tech or Network admin or even an engineer they all say they use IE and mostly because of what I just said plus some. ;)

It still doesnt have tabs, integrated search, and plug-ins :tongue:
(plug-ins to the extent firefox does that is)

Okay I thought Trog would of replied to this but I guess not. So, I will.
You can get everything you just mentioned integrated into IE. For example,
Yahoo, Google, and so on. Also I have found that FF is just as suseptible to
getting haxord as IE. ;)

Dont be surprised if IE gets tabs in the next version or so.

[Darakian]

Ya I know they have tabs comming, still I would not like to web surf as I do without a few of my extensions, adblock, proxyswitch, and gmail checker for a few examples.
