So why do people keep insisting on the secureness of firefox VS internet explorer?
I'll tell you why, just so they can act like they know something.
In my 13 years of computing experience, i have NEVER heard of ANYONE getting their security compromised while using IE. To use firefox simply because of its "oh look I am computer 1337 cuz I use0r the firef0x" spells NOOB.
IE 7 has TABS, far better spyware protection, ActiveX support, better STANDARDS COMPLIANCE (For all the fuckwads that believe in standards as if it even matters), LESS VULNERABILITIES (You heard that bitches, recent tests according to ZDNET, ARSTECHNICA have shown that IE 7 has LESS security holes than Firedumbfox 1.5). WAY faster updates (Microsofts monthly critical updates VS Firefox's 6 month release updates, FUCKING OWNED YES).
Open Source = failure to begin with. Even after 20 years, the UNIX kernel hasn't taken off as the industry standard. People are STILL using Windows 2000 (More than XP). Open Source = Messy, Closed Source = More attention to the code because the developers actually get paid. Give me 1 example where an OPEN SOURCE piece of software actually became a dominant success in its field, THOUGHT SO.
The only thing I can even think of that is remotely successful is the UNIX kernel running those mindless time-slicing benchmarks on SPARC systems (I'm pretty sure you people don't even know what I'm talking about, which justifies my claims even more).
So to the people who like firefox in place of IE, justify your stupid reason for doing so please so I can laugh because I know for a fact you can't.
Microsoft supporter, and fucking proud of it.
