striker Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 For all the browsers on operating systems, the hardest target is Firefox on Windows. With Firefox on Mac OS X, you can do whatever you want. There’s nothing in the Mac operating system that will stop you. http://blogs.zdnet.com/security/?p=2941 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I wonder if there is a browser recommended for OSX?Do they ever look at Opera? And if not, why not?

striker Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 Don't think you're secure with installing IE8.0 final... It suffers from the same problem like posted in post #1,being on Windows 7 Beta (what they used) . The big news of the day is that the MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) woke me up before my alarm went off this morning to let me know that they had reproduced and validated IE8 vulnerability discovered by the mysterious Nils.source: http://dvlabs.tippingpoint.com/blog/2009/03/20/pwn2own-day-2Now the question is, does this problem also bugs Windows Vista loaded with IE8.0 final. Microsoft has yet to confirm or deny it. From: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-...09-8bed2d2852b2making your web even better...Faster,Easier,Safer Stay safer onlineInternet Explorer 8Browse with more confidence knowing Internet Explorer 8 helps protect you from evolving online threats right out of the box.Well, I've made up my mind.
