Solution SPAM competing products link in a topic that has nothing to do with that product. Do we really need to point out that these alternatives have had and still do have some of there own problems? Don't believe the hype folks. If these alternatives had the market share of IE. It be interesting to see how they would hold up with ever hacker, cracker and ---- smacker knocking at there door.
Funny how with basic security and common sense none of this has any effect. Granted holes, flaws, exploits and / or bad code should always be fixed. Granted developers should do there best to make sure that these things can't happen in the first place. But if it was built by a human. A flaw can be found. Just depends on how much time and resources a person wishes to put towards reaching that goal. The alternatives aren't all that and a box of cracker jackers. No matter how much hype they get.

Considering there is a larger pool of developers who proactively look for problems, I'd wager that the open source browsers like Firefox would do much better.
Additionally, since they are not integrated into the OS, like IE, the level of damage than can cause is lessened.

Assuming you're using something from the NT branch of windows as most windows users now are; How so?
