Google-funded study finds Firefox least secure browser, Chrome the best | Naked Security.
Well after long consideration and many suggesting I make the move to chrome. This article did the job. I’ve moved chrome on to a couple of my production boxes and will start moving with that. I have long been a supporter of Firefox but after reading about the security issues it’s been having as of late verses even Internet Explorer? I fear it will soon go the way of Netscape. So time to make a move in advance of that. I’m still testing their version 9.0 software and I do like it and it’s sync but if they can’t come up to snuff on Security as well as obtain some decent funding. I fear they will be left behind.
