andsome Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 It's beginning to appear that these much lauded alternatives to IE are not so good after all. Now that quite a few people have shifted, the idiots are turning their attention to these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moon Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Attacking non-M$ software isn't new, although it's becoming more frequent as you say. In the case of Opera though they'll be working on vulnerabilities the same day that they are identified and they'll have an upgraded Opera version available in a trice. M$ just release a dubious patch several months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at it that way, and all the other browsers put together don't even come close :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
