Symantec slams Firefox again (and again)
I guess Firefox is not as safe as what they said it would be. There were 47 vulnerabilities documented in Mozilla browsers this year, 38 bugs for Microsoft Internet Explorer and 12 holes for Apple’s Safari, but when it comes to fixing bugs, Mozilla still stop the list with a respond to bugs within a day or two, wherelse Microsoft takes 9 feaking days, Apple on the other hand took 5 days.
Security in Internet browser is a major issue, and with the current market of equally divided share among these competitors, trojans and worms are harder to spread. What the market need is another browser to have an equal number of the pie. Perhaps Opera Browser might make an impact in the near future, afterall, they’re the first browser to introduce tab browsing.
I used to browse the web with Opera, its fast but very unstable. I was annonyed with the constant crashing and hanging of the browser and eventually make a come back to Internet Explorer, it was only 2 years ago I come accross this new browser called Firefox and I never look back. Firefox rulez.

I used the template, and it works fine. However, I recently “upgraded” to IE7, and it doesn’t display properly with it. The sidbar (right) overlaps with the posts. Works fine with IE5,6,NT,etc. Any ideas? You can view it at http://wearredonfridays.blogspot.com/
This is what I fear the most, why can’t the guys at Microsoft follow the W3C guidelines? What the F___K is wrong with them? I have a hard time booting the wordpress theme to blogger, 90% of the times it doesn’t display properly in IE6, its a breeze to comply with Firefox. Microsoft is a big bully and they thinks that the world would be a better place if everyone follow their way. Enough is enough!
I hate to do this, I think its about time people say no for a change. Well, we can’t unseat Microsoft in the OS market anymore, but what we can do is use firefox, download firefox and stop using IE. Support Google and others.
Ironically, I’ve just finish reading the Icon, a book about Steve Jobs. Apple and their Macintosh is very much a closed system, between Microsoft and Apple, there is more freedom in programming and upgrading your computers when it comes to Microsoft system… I guess I have to choose the lesser evils – Microsoft. That’s ironic.
