Even if IE9 was show the be the best browser, made of winsauce and gives you a cake upon installation. i would only install it for the cake and then go immediately back to firefox.
Im too used to it.

"best protection of any browser against socially engineered malware."
Ooooo, it spits pop ups telling you not to be a total moron and fall for phishing attacks every five seconds then?

so the dead horse has resurrected. Good for those who don't know better on web browsers. But for me, I'm happy with Chrome and Firefox
That's a totally unbiased study...Everyone should heed it immediately!
In other news, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona I'd like to sell.

Too bad it's still a nightmare to code websites for. If they made that better, I would run back with arms wide open. But I'm smart enough not to click just anything on the internets.
That's the key there. If you have no idea what you're doing on the internet, sure use IE. But if you're smart and don't click suspicious links you can just use your browser of choice.Greg Tito said:
Hey, is this sounding familiar to anyone? I mean, it sounds almost like the current situation! Oh wait, it is the current situation.
I have three different browsers on my computer for different purposes. Chrome for speed, Firefox for extensions, old IE for compatibility.
Even if everything else the report says is true (and several people have suggested perfectly legitimate reasons to take its findings with a grain of salt), wait six months. As the version that's going to come bundled into the next version of Windows and which current versions of Windows are going to be bugging their users to install with each new update, IE9 is quite simply going to be the browser with the biggest bullseye on its back.
Frankly, it's wisest not to count on your browser alone to protect you from malware in any case.

Oi, we said we'd share! *takes back Firefox to cuddle with* <.<mParadox said:
OT: That's actually surprising. Oh well, it won't matter seeing as I'm running Linux now for the one thing I browse the web with
Good for them. Somehow I doubt if all the people who have developed a mislike for Microsoft are going to suddenly come running back though.
Such a large jump obviously means something though. Microsoft is doing something that other people aren't. (Or maybe they are just getting hit so hard so often that they have dealt with every threat while other browsers have had it easier and thus have more lax security? i.e. the "Mac is virus free" situation.)

I'll stick with Chrome, thank you.
My antivirus slows down web page loading times on IE to 2 seconds.

Not even gonna mention how the escapist was handing out Trojans the other week huh? Sometimes a judgement call isn't enough, sadly. It's never a bad idea for anyone to pick an extra layer of protection. *points to avast*Greg Tito said:
