comment on journal entry: the fundamental security flaw in Mozilla browsers

  • laf at IE users
    kinrowan:
    "All of that said, I'm sure there are other known security holes in FireFox, and many more that haven't poked up yet. IE gets a bad security rap precisely because it is what most people use, so most of the shadier developers target it.
    If FireFox ever got to be the 95% gorilla then I'm sure all kinds of holes would pop up."

    Not so sure on this one
    The Difference between IE's Developer Team and Mozilla's is that Mozilla's Team DOES listen and actually fix things.
    I don't blame IE's dev team doesn't listen. They just can't change things, be as flexible as the open source Community.
    The fact that Gecko (mozilla's browser engine) is open source does put YOU in charge.
    Gecko is developed by the community. Everyone can join. the Source is FREE.

    Don't scream on bugs, FIX them or find someone able fixing them (mozilla dev team). You can do
    Hell they even pay you money for reporting bugs. Not worth it exploiting them anymore [Jo] [reply]
