"As I understand it, Opera uses IE's engine, it's got all the vulnerability of IE." - Shadow Deamon

That's false. Unlike many "alternative" browsers, Opera has it's own engine. And, for whatever reasons, Opera's current and past versions have consistently had fewer UNPATCHED security problems than IE and Firefox.

Oh, thanks for setting me straight on that. I'll have to take a more serious look at Opera then. It looks like a very nice browser but I was leary about the engine.

I currently use Firefox and have for several years with no problems at all.
