Best as always
by PhoenixP3K April 25, 2006 9:53 PM PDT: Opera has always been careful about security issues. I don't know if they hunt their own bugs in advance but I can safely say that it's the most secure browser I know. Even if a flaw occurs they fix it in a record time, unlike IE that takes weeks and Firefox. Look up Opera on Secunia and see: http://secunia.com/product/4932/

Somehow
by fakespam April 25, 2006 11:55 PM PDT: Somewhere, somehow, somebody missed something when
browser's were created.

Strange, but using some old-ass browsers on old OS 8/9 and
Win95 computers seen to yield no problems for me.; Like this Reply to this comment

I crashed FF yesterday
by David Arbogast April 26, 2006 1:36 PM PDT: probably not related at all... but it was a rude awakening... while testing validation on a web form, I started pasting text into a textarea... and kept pasting... more and more... and before long, the browser just crashed. No scripts tied to any behaviors or anything... just a plain textarea... with too much text. Sad. Very sad.; Like this Reply to this comment

FireFox and No Script

by sophist April 27, 2006 8:51 AM PDT

The Java script problem listed by secunia can be easily solved by installing the NoScript extension and using it to block Java scripts from running on untrusted sites. Installing takes about 2 minutes
