I understand it now has a very large back door.

I am interested to know what Firefox FReepers are doing.
I do have Google Chrome available on this XP computer, but have not used it. My wife and child use another laptop with Windows Vista.

It is depressing that Google (!) Chrome is purported to have the best browser security and that the most flexible and user-friendly, Firefox, has the poorest security. There is no mention of Opera. Does anyone have an assessment of Opera’s security?

And while we are on the subject of computer security, what about this “heartbleed” bug? Anybody know anything or had a bad experience or whatever?

Most of my security efforts are keeping google from stealing my life.

Here’s what Eric S Raymond (”Cathedral and the Bazaar”) had to say
http://www.ibiblio.org/esrblog/
“When I heard that Brendan Eich had been forced to resign his new job as CEO at Mozilla, my first thought was “Congratulations, gay activists. You have become the bullies you hate.”

On reflection, I think the appalling display of political thuggery we’ve just witnessed demands a more muscular response. Eich was forced out for donating $1000 to an anti-gay-marriage initiative? Then I think it is now the duty of every friend of free speech and every enemy of political bullying to pledge not only to donate $1000 to the next anti-gay-marriage initiative to come along, but to say publicly that they have done so as a protest against bullying.

This is my statement that I am doing so. I hope others will join me.

It is irrelevant whether we approve of gay marriage or not. The point here is that bullying must have consequences that deter the bullies, or we will get more of it. We must let these thugs know that they have sown dragon’s teeth, defeating themselves. Only in this way can we head off future abuses of similar kind.

And while I’m at it – shame on you, Mozilla, for knuckling under. I’ll switch to Chrome over this, if it’s not totally unusable.”

For reference, “Chrome” is actually based on the Chromium opensource browser. Chromium doesn’t have any of Google’s tracking/reporting code in it.

Use both. Firefox allows video downloaders for Youtube and all other websites with video. Chrome won’t.

So, who cares?

GOODBY Firefox!
