Does anybody know the most secure browser to use?

I'm keen to be protected as possible when online and have heard the Firefox is the best? Does anyone know if the is true?

Firefox V3.06 with the plugins 'noscript' and 'adblock plus' is my recommendation

Depends on what operating system you use..

Internet Explorer for a Microsoft Platform, Firefox for a Linux Platform.

What has a list of websites that haven't been changed to be compliant with the way IE8 now enforces standards in the way that IE7 never did be of any relevance to the question in hand?

I mealy showing that IE8 has flaws and that there is a long list of web sites that aren't compatible. Never have any issues with firefox

IE 8 Has not yet been released? It is still in BETA dev stage is it not?

The reason they're not compatible is because the browser hasn't been released yet, I'm sure the people responsible for ensuring compatibility for their sites are working on a schedule to update to coincide with the release of IE8.

All browsers have flaws, it's niave to think otherwise.

I never said browsers dont have flaws, but some more than others. Firefox tends to be more secure due to the open sourcing and or scammers tend to target the most popular browser

Admittedly IE is better than it use to be

Firefox is better because of the many plugins which can make it more secure too

Firefox is the safest and best
