So according your nihilistic philosophy, everything is the same. You believe that a poorly-designed product is as good as a well-designed one. It's like saying there's no difference between Yugos and Cadillacs, or Democrats and Republicans.

I say your philosophy is a load of crap.

You continue to miss the point: Even if a person installs all the "right" software/hardware, they still have not achieved computer "security" because the next undiscovered exploit or unwritten virus is still out there.

People should use the software they feel comfortable with and adopt an attitude of security that includes updates, regular backups and awareness of changes in their computer system.

It is great if you prefer one browser over another, but blind faith in that browser is a serious security issue.
