No browser is really secure, that includes Firefox. It's stupid to point fingers
as soon as a security hole is discovered. The issue is more, how the problems
are being handled.

I am pretty happy the majority still uses IE and continues to do so. I don't
need another "browser war" where a lot of pages are incompatible again with
non-IE browsers. Additionally, attackers prefer to attack IE users, which makes
me pretty safe as well. (apart from using non_Windows) Also, I don't see many
pages anymore which are not usable with non-IE browsers. A graphic glitch here
or there doesn't matter to me, as long as the overall functionality is ok. And
with all the great web-designers out there it's often not easy to distinguish a
glitch from a "feature" anyway ;)

In this sense, thank you for supporting IE. :o)
