IE6 is by far the most secure broswer. NOT! Geez, IE is by far not the most secure. Man, look at all the security problems and vunerablities that it has. They are always having to release patches to fix those problems. Mozilla or Firefox are excellent browsers to use that are secure.

IE is just as secure as any other browser if you don't install spyware crap on it or anything. Granted there are security fixes, but they are to fix minor buffer overflows. I would think FireFox is more secure because it is independent of the OS and if something goes wrong, only the browser is affected, not the entire OS.

Thread NIP'ed #190

If u want to mess ur system, there would be ways u can do it with opera/fox.

the thing is that they need a more stupeed guy than someone on IE.

That is true, if you install a malware proggie on purpose firefox/opera/whatever can't do a jack. But that's all well and beside the point. The point here is that IE has security vulnerabilities that don't necessarily require doing anything other than clicking on a wrong link.

stop spamming Mozilla not like they never ever had problems before

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/k...rabilities.html sames goes for opera

and i went here http://webtest.scanit.be/bcheck/sid-38ba24...9890718fe7701b/ and i see nothing wrong with any browser. anyway if you stop going to funky sites you will be fine no matter what gay browser you use

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
