This was pretty interesting. I tested my browser (Firefox) and it found no vulnerabilities, which is very good to know. Maybe I'll check Internet Explorer sometime later today. And just a question for others running Firefox...did Firefox block any of your popups or completely restart? It was kind of weird that I still saw the popups and the browser didn't restart even though I passed a... read more.
This checks for the most commonly occurring security vulnerabilities in the major browsers.In total there are some 40 tests and may take a long time to finish. I have run this test on 4 browsers: 1)IE 7 : 0 vulnerabilities (but the browser goes crazy, opening several windows and applications) 2)IE 6 : 1 medium risk (the browser goes crazy like IE7) 3)Firefox 2.0.0.3: 1 medium risk (i think some plugin might have caused this as some others have had different results) 4)Opera 9.2: 0 vulnerabilities

Thanks, I guess. Since I have Mozilla FF, It automaticly checks for those things. It would be nice to have someday, though. Thanks! Hope it works for others!
Thats pretty interesting, i use, what i think is the latest release of FF and i got big fat zeros so it seems im reasonably safe in terms of FF letting someone in. Good to know.
I would say this was a interesting software about 2 years ago, but I wouldn't rely on the results that much because mostly like they have all been patch since then and by the looks of it these tests and from the website they are for IE6 ff1.x and opera 7.x so I don't think Ie7, ff2 and Opera 9.x will check out for it.
Wow, thanks for this link. I ran the tests and it only found one vulnerability in my browser. It is a medium level and has to do with e-mail. As I am running Windows 98 I cannot update as suggested, but I am relieved to know that my setup is so secure.
Damn, every time the hackers are more rude with Firefox... remember those olde times when IE5 & IE6 has flaws and the hackers don't take care about Firefox... :-(
Nice site, i just test my browser.. here is the result: Internet Explorer bait & switch race condition - passed Internet Explorer createTextRange arbitrary code execution - passed Windows MDAC ADODB ActiveX control invalid length - passed Adobe Flash Player video file parsing integer overflow - passed XMLDOM substringData() heap overflow - passed Apple QuickTime MOV file JVTCompEncodeFrame heap overflow - passed Apple QuickTime 'QTPlugin.ocx' ActiveX Control Multiple Buffer Overflows - passed
These are my results. I always run IE trough Maxton2: Internet Explorer bait & switch race condition - passed Internet Explorer createTextRange arbitrary code execution - passed Windows MDAC ADODB ActiveX control invalid length - passed Adobe Flash Player video file parsing integer overflow - passed XMLDOM substringData() heap overflow - passed Apple QuickTime MOV file JVTCompEncodeFrame heap overflow - passed Apple QuickTime 'QTPlugin.Ocx' ActiveX Control Multiple Buffer Overflows - passed

Opera Mini is my favorite mobile web browser and it's in it 4.1th version. Get it here
http://www.operamini.com In this newewst version of Opera Mini, the devs from Opera Software ASA
offered us lots and lots of addons and new feaures to the bestest mobile browser in the world, like:
Find in page - find text in page, with simple pressing on # and then * on the phone's keyboard
and then entering the text you are searching for, and the app. will find the text with a speed of a
computer browser. It's really useful when you are looking (eg.) for some informat....
I came across this browser by a fluke chance when I was checking out articles at PC World, and from
what I remember from the article this is a very big name browser in Japan and they wanted to expand
it to the international market. What really caught my eye is that they want to get 5% of the
international market in the browser wars in the next couple of years. To give a background story to
this browser, it was developed in 2005 in both English and Japanese and after 3 years it gain some
popularity in the international community and so now they are trying to enter thems....
I am currently developing my own Web Browser and I need a name for it /biggrin.gif"

visual based like it's bookmark feature is visual base it's history is visual based, and

Out of a fluke I found this software on a tutorial website, and basically your designing for IE by
opening several different versions of IE is over. There was a IE software that haslip mention,
however, I didn't like the fact it would cuase the browsers to crash. So I found bump into this
by accident, and the rest is history, interestingly enough if oyu have Office 2007 installed, you
have the option to chance skins based on what Office 2007 has. As for what versions this program
supprts is Internet Explorer 5.5, 6, 7, and even 8b1. It aslo has an update button so....
some websites are asking you to download their toolbar from a useful one like google toolbar to
harmful one like websearch toolbar and some provide service only if their toolbar is installed
(example: mega upload). QUOTE whats browser toolbar? Third-party toolbars for browsers are
best known for adding functionality and ease-of-use options to the end user. While the browser
itself handles basic browsing navigation (Back, Stop, Reload, etc) using its own toolbars, external
toolbars often add additional functionality to browsers (additional search fields, form-fil....
No seriously, I've been using Firefox since 0.x releases. I loved it. Every release, despite
having no huge features, was a great update. Version 3, however, totally messes everything up. Its
default interface is ugly. And no Home button, really ??? (ps. I kno i can drag it back from the
bookmarks toolbar but still, its stupid). The address bar search thing. I liked the concept, but I
am so used to the old way, this actually distracts me, I don't want to search my history
everytime I type a new address. Plus the slide out is huge now making the whole thing feel t....
Now that 2007 is almost over with news of Netscape's demise in just two months, and the major
players in the browser wars are set in stong; Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6 & 7, Firefox 1.x.x
& 2.x.x and Beta 2 version of Firefox 3, Opera 9.x, and Safari 3.x. Lets just see where the % point
are for the major players. Growth Chart So as you can tell both browsers IE7 and FF2 started
roughly the same, 24% for IE7 and 25% for Firefox 2, but interestingly enough they ended the year
roughly the same but with firefox winning by 1% at 37% while IE takes a nice 36....
Hi guys, Can anyone tell me what is the main deference between IE and Mozilla Firefox ? I have been
using IE (version 6.0) for one year but from now on I have decided to use Firefox. I just want to
know as to what Mozilla can do which Internet Explorer can not. Thanks! ....
Hi Guys, I'm trying to test a site for a client who doesn't have broadband. She has told me
that it's taking too long to download. I'm currently on broadband 2 so for me the page
loads in under a couple of seconds. Is there a way I can emulate 56k speeds on my browser so that I
can see how long would take to download. Cheers.....

Currently on version 0.2 with 0.3 in development Swift is on the cutting edge of web browsing
technology. Swift utilizes apple's webkit to bring you KHTML which is widely considered the best

soon plans to implement it's own adblocker. Get swift here. Disclaimer: Swift is still in
development stages. If you are looking for a fully functional watered down web browser get firefox

Maybe you have already heard about the Opera browser and maybe some are already using it now. But
for some that don't have any idea on what it's about, well let me do the honors... Opera is
a browser. You can download it on Opera.com anyways, what i like about this browser is that you can
easilly download nice looking opera skins for free. Aside from that, it has BitTorrent---You
don't need a separate BitTorrent application to download large files. Simply click a torrent
link and start the download.-- it means that if you're downloading, you won'....
There are battles between different browsers for a long time now and it all began when netscape and
microsoft started the war;) First is now almost forgotten and the second one survived and is today
fighting mostly with Mozilla, Firefox and Opera. Each of those has many fans which will say that
his browser is the best! But WHICH IS REALLY THE BEST??? On the page HowToCreate they tried
to answer that question as they were comparing the most popular browsers for Linux (Firefox,
Mozilla, Konqeror, Opera, Epiphany), Mac OS X (Safari, Opera, OmniWeb, IE, iCab, Fir....
Hey guys, Lemme know what you think abou the Mozilla Firefox browser. I personally think it out
runs Microsoft Internet Explorer mainly cos of the convenience of having all the windows in one main
window, plus enhanced security features. What do you think? Cheers! Yasir /smile.gif'
