Ts browser to browser you cant extrapolate because Apache is better than ISS then Firefox therefore will be better than IE.
Your argument is that the popularity of a particular piece of software is related to the amount of security problems that it has.
I have offered two examples of how that argument is not valid, yet you continue to go way around the issue in an effort to keep from having to see the truth.
Ever tried to install google toolbar on firefox? or yahoos toolbar?
I fail to see how software add-ons have any relevance to the security of the software itself. Perhaps you can dig down deep into your programming or security experience and explain it to me.
(did you know alot of mal-ware uses the same technology as them but they involuntary install it on your computer)
I did know that. I also know that the more integrated the browser is into the operating system, the easier it is to exploit the computer at a lower level.
I also know that the idea that malware can be installed without the user knowing is a design flaw common to Microsoft software.
And I also know that the history of exploits and the seriousness of those exploits indicate that your position on the popularity of a bit of software having anything to do with it being exploited is silly.
