Maybe this is because circa 99% of IE users believe that they have won yachts from the internet fairies in competitions they had no idea they had entered? Everyone else has common sense.
Even thought they say that they are independant the fact that there is such a huge gap between IE and everything else is suspicious considering that most people who use various browsers every day haven't announced their own applause for how much safer IE became. And that they supposably used old versions of the other browsers is sort of like comparing the performance of a current day Ferrari and a Ford Model T...

Finally being reluctant to change pays off.
Also, 13 versions of chrome in about two year, that's a version every less than two months, wow.

Yeah, I'm calling bullshit, user reviews always rate IE as the Least secure browser and honestly, I'd rather trust 2 million reviews over one unreliable study.
As well, I've run into exactly 12 malware warnings and had exactly zero malwares get past the radar using firefox.
I'm sure chrome and opera users have had similar results. (as you don't hear people whining about the security on those)

I like Chrome for the elegant and shiny design it sports. :3 Thankfully, that particular theme is also available for Firefox so my FF looks like Chrome and works like FF.UrKnightErrant said:
I don't use that many add-ons to begin with. Too many add-ons can eat up memory and clutter up the program. 3:
The difference in speed, accessibility and convenience are far too great to warrant me giving up Google Chrome.
And my anit-virus does the job so I'm pretty good thanks.
EDIT: Although I do remember having a major problem with Chrome before, where it simply refused to load anything but my new tab page. No one could figure out what it was, but they fixed it eventually.

This is exactly what I'm thinking. I'm using FF6 Beta and Aurora right now anyways.... Also chrome has the same add ons as firefox.Aeshi said:
EDIT: Read through the case study a bit. This is the most bullshit test I've ever seen. Looking at it, it seems each of the other browsers were used as they were downloaded: no changes in anything including no "no script" and no "ad block plus". While on the other hand IE9 received:
Not only did it have its settings toggled with, they turned on all the security settings making it probably 100% unuseable for casual browsing. When you block 99% of internet traffic no shit you're going to have 99% of things blocked. We can ignore this "study". Nice try microsoft.

I like IE too, personally I think a lot of the hate is just people trying to be "cool" by being alternative and not using the mainstream browser. I have IE, Firefox and Chrome installed on my computer and there's no noticeable difference in speed between them, and IE has the best layout for me so I use that.Deshara said:
I guess I can stop bugging my idiotic friend to switch to a different browser for a while then, even though practically everything else about it is done better in other ones. Knowing him he probably still uses IE6, though.
Nevermind, ignore what I said. Gonna continue bugging my friend to switch, like usual.crepesack said:
Figured as much. Extra settings enabled for IE9 plus old versions of other browsers with no extra settings enabled = of course IE9 blocks more stuff.crepesack said:
Hey guys, I have a computer running Windows 7 with no antivirus, firewall, or Windows Updates and a computer running Windows Vista with an up to date antivirus, firewall, and all the proper OS updates. I bet my study will show that Windows 7 sucks and Windows Vista is the best thing ever!
So you're saying that unless I click on links that any idiot can recognise for malware, I'm better off using the faster, moddable browsers that don't have such a bad legacy? Amazing.
But then you'd just be getting even more virusses. Real ones.Woodsey said:
OT: I have always used IE and never had a problem. It's functional for me.
I'm sorry but this isn't evidence that IE is the better way to go...
It's evidence that people are retarded and despite all their better judgement will still believe they are genuinely the luckiest bastard alive in winning the Nigerian lottery without even having entered.
Also, if that discount viagra sounds too good to be true... yeah, you get the picture.
