I speak as a fan (and regular user) of Opera.
I won't, however, trust Chrome, as I seem to remember that early versions, despite being Open Source, had a tendency to report what you browsed to Google. Something with the OS community took a while to spot.

Yes.. & no Stuart, well IE 8 has most of the holes it its browser to start with than others. You make the point about other browsers yes, they do but they are patched up or are updated/upgraded much faster than IE8 ever is - which is every other month (IE8) or so when some one outs to the public a hole in Microsoft buggy browser.
Tho what about the hackers/spammers newly discovered holes in IE8 too or others, as more people use IE8 the hacker/spammer etc will target it mostly.
As like the apple users vs windows saying they don't need antivirus software as apple O/S is much more secure, wrong you need it - It's been proven in past, I know I'm going off track but I'm using above as example for reference for both sides.
Waiting for a warm reply, Stuart + thanks for the informative input too
