Of course it is. Uses JavaScript instead of unsecure "Active Scripting"
(Active Scripting = JScript + VBScript), doesn't have Active X enabled,
supports PopUp blocking, etc.

It is too new to be certain but since it is built on Mozilla the odds are
very good that, ah hell! EVERY browser is more secure than IE!

I installed Firebird because I wanted to see what it was like, and within an
hour, set it as my default browser.

Features like showing the values of hidden form fields are invaluable for
web site debuggers.

One thing to be aware of is that there is an ActiveX module for
Netscape that is supposed to work with Mozilla, and possibly other
Moz-based browsers too. Fortunately, it's not widely used, but if you
didn't do your own installation, somebody could have added this plugin
without your knowledge.
