If Firefox becomes the next big thing then someone somewhere will want to break it so your back into the same old routine.
I'll stay with M$ for now thanks.

Why is the standard defence of Microsoft's shoddy security always that 'everyone else is just as bad, it's just nobody has bothered to exploit it.'? That is a presumption based on scant evidence and I suspect is symptomatic of how Microsoft's take-it-or-leave-it attitude has conditioned many PC users to believe that there is no other way. Well, there is, and I am browsing with it right now.
