best web browser for security

Which one is best for it?

[Bobby]

hello there,

wow, i think you've just started endless discussion  

we have old article about this issue right here : http://www.2-spyware.com/news/post230.html
but things have changed much since it was written.

some people say it doesn't matter which browser you use as long as you don't visit phishy websites, porn, don't download things and as long as you don't click on links given on spam emails. but this strategy is not safe because web browsers just like other programs have some vulnerabilities left. this means, there are some errors left that creators hadn't noticed and some thing that creators didn't thought about when they were making a browser. and these little errors can be exploited by malicious software to install trojans and spyware on a computer or simply record user's login information and other sensitive things.

the more popular a browser is, the more people work in finding those errors and exploit them to install malware. however, an unknown web browser can be unsafe too.

i use firefox myself and i consider it a secure web browser. it updates often - this mean the errors (if any) are fixed often. besides it blocks pop-ups. in the end it's up to you which one you choose. i hope other members of this forum will share their opinions as well.

Thank you  I usually use firefox but im on a new computer and didnt get to download it yet(on internet explorer now) and was wondering which would be best.  Does spyware doctor protect browser best?

spyware doctor http://www.2-spyware.com/review-spyware-doctor.html has real time security that protects you while you're browsing. still i recommend using pop-ups blocker and avoiding suspicious websites.

The secure browser is the less popular browser... And based not on IE for sure

i think firefox is best option availble......
 i personally find it useful beacuse

multitab option
virus detection
addons facilities and etc.

If I download anything it is usually in Firefox, not only does its download manager initiate an automatic virus scan.

firefox is good in security and chrome is best for browsing

I fully admit with you.I also find  that Firefox is safer and , most of the time, faster than IE.
