from a security standpoint...
let's say I like to surf p0rn sights and other generally spyware/virus ladden content (like the typical luser) Is mozilla safer? I have clients (home users) that are hooked on this stuff, and their machines are wacked - and sure I get paid to fix it but I'm really getting tired of it. I'd rather spend my saturday watching football. kpg |
