Re: Use Firefox

said by AnonymousDolphin :

Why not just use Firefox, with Adblock, Flashblock and Noscript extensions installed? That takes care of the great majority of security attacks from websites, since they can't really display anything that's dangerous.
...then why not go back to text-only browsing??? Disabling add-ons is just a band-aid, the real solution is re-writing the software from ground-up with security in mind.
