Dude, The IE 6 is like expired milk, it is not secure. » www.pcworld.com/article/204199/s···r_6.html That's his choice.

Re: Which browser is recommended for security reasons? It seems extremely unlikely for the browser itself to cause any real-world security threat.
People get malware from add-ons, extensions and the random crap they download + run.
If you want to be safer, stop using vulnerable applications, such as Adobe products, Java and other such things.
If you must use them, at least run them in a VM. |

Anything not IE or IE-based is best on Windows.
The problem with IE is that it is an interface for Microsoft's rendering engine/platform, many programs might depend on its APIs even within the OS itself. ActiveX is used for plug-ins and within the OS itself, there are hundreds of ActiveX controls included in Windows and by 3rd-party developers not meant to be used in IE. If just one of those has a vulnerability, websites can exploit them just by having you visit it in IE. The line is just really blurred between the operating system and IE. Did anyone know "My Computer" is also a zone in Internet Explorer, just hidden from you?
As for setting it up correctly, you don't have to set up any other browser correctly to have an enjoyable surfing experience without the headache. They don't need granular controls. You can be safe and have functionality without being a frieken' computer genius.

kudos:4 | Errr....It's NOT Opera's poll. Opera blog evidently wants Opera readers to vote for Opera (which is understandable) so they mentioned the poll to get Opera users who read the Opera blog to go and vote for Opera.
The poll belongs to Sophos Antivirus. So, you should post your comment at the Sophos poll page.
The reason Opera is doing well in the poll is because Opera users are more aware of the poll (because of Opera blog promoting that awareness) than are users of other browsers. Get Microsoft to promote the poll like Opera is promoting it and have Microsoft ask IE users to vote for IE and then you should see more votes for IE. I bet if Microsoft were to do that, and you were to post at the Microsoft blog, and say you voted for Opera, that Microsoft might not approve your post.
So, post your comments on Sophos poll page.

Re: On their get out to vote...
The poll only means there are 2,944 people who use Opera and I am not surprised. and as one user commented at the Opera forum just for starters...
No Sandboxed iframe
No Seamless iframe
No iframe with inline contents
No mixed content protection
The third party tracking protection solutions are weak due to lack of powerful Extension API (look at Ghostery before and after, furthermore when I restart Opera, it doesn't initialize Ghostery at the first time, so if I open Opera with many tabs the tracker scripts are run at the first time until the Ghostery doesn't initialized.
