Choosing between IE and Firebird is like voting in the last Presidential election.

Only time I've seen such deviant use of "exploits" was when I went to sites with questionable content.

Otherwise firebird is great, works just as good as IE, love the tabs, but that feeling that IE gives when you are looking at pages isn't there.

I'm just alerting people to the risks of using IE that may not know about its reputation for security. If you find known unpatched security holes acceptable, more power to you.

BS, you choose not report all the bugs vulnerablities found in open source browsers like konqerer, phoneix, blah blah blah , etc. They all have bugs, they all have security flaws, by not pointing that out you are just a POS Trolling spreading FUD. You should go work for zdnet like the rest of your kind.

See the thing is, Ameesh, those flaws get fixed. ;)
Anyways, I'm running Firebird, and I'll be glad to go to any website you want me to...LMK =)

Internet explorer 6 on windows XP allows exection of arbitrary code

DESCRIPTION :

Yesterday Liu Die Yu released a number series of advisories concerning
internet explorer
by combining on of these issues with an earlier issue I myself reported a
while back
You can construct a specially crafted webpage that can take any action on a
users system
including but not limited to, installing trojans, keyloggers, wiping the
users harddrive etc.

I think of what I'm doing as balancing out for the MS zealots. ;)

More commonly known as trolling.

Trolling would be posting lies in the sheer hope of getting a rise out of people.

I'm just advocating change and telling the straight truth. ;)

BTW, Ameesh, please do post details on these known, published mozilla [firebird]/konquerer exploits. I'm not too familiar with konq though...
