critical security breach was found in IE and never fixed.
by only visiting "hostile" website, the website can take over your
computer using built-in bug in the javascript window object.
don't surf to your pr0ns using IE!!!
anyway, this breach exists for 6 months now - so it would probably take
some time until it's fixed.

maybe that's good reason to dump IE?

Yep indeed. Time for ppl to ditch that useless browser.
I'm kind of wondering what the new updates for firefox will look like. Hopefully they have gotten rid of having to download the update and having to go thru an install on every security update.
Have any of you ever seen Firefox crash the way IE does?

Google Zeitgeist used to give the stats on what browers people were using but doens't seem to have it any more.

Would be intresting to see how many people are using FF of late. It appears to have been in the "mainstream" media a lot more of late.
