I had problems recently with FF, so now I’m getting used to Google Chrome. Do you have a history of changing browsers? What is the safest in your opinion?
BTW , ActiveDen uploading bar works much better with Chrome than FF:)

you need a good antivirus and firewall software. there’s no such thing as secure browser.

I havn’t had a bad experience so far with browser security, but as far as I know Firefox is the safest out there – if browser security is even relevant. You often see browsers advertising with their safety, but there’s not much difference really. Just get yourself good antivirus software and a firewall

I’ve used firefox since forever, can’t remember when I didn’t use it 
what problems have you had with it? 
I have been using FF for the longest time. For security i use zone alarm pro. The 2 work well together.
Cheers

I use ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite + FF… Haven’t had any problems with firefox,
except when a dodgy plugin makes something not work (firebug isn’t working in FF for me at all at the moment
) but still… FF FTW ,
Thanks guys for the replies, I may reconsider FF when a new version arrives. Maybe they’ll close the breach.

what problems have you had with it?![]()
I had Kaspersky Internet Security (the latest version) telling me there was an attack by a worm called Helkern through FF
Later on my PC didn’t want to load at all! So I cleaned up everything, re-installed Windows, and now using Chrome.
I love FF, its so handy especially together with Web Develloper’s add-on. I just need a working machine and would do everything to keep it that way. Never had problems with FF before thought

I’m using Safari most of the time, and FF for debug purpose only.

Look at the post above
I guess they had some breach if that kept happening, but not on Chrome and Safari.
