ipod lover or ipod haters. I guess that the same thing applies to ff

opera is not safer than ff and the no script extension, unless it has it's own version of the no script extension

what you fail to realize, is that same analogy applies to opera too. you know the more famous it gets, the more that it will be exploited
Sorry but i don't hate firefox. I often use it.

My reasons for saying Opera is more secure are:

Opera does not support activex so that minimizes the risks greatly.

It is not as popular as FF + IE so not as many explotes are found and not as many attacks are aimed at it.

With a good hosts file, plugin-ignore.ini and block.ini Opera seem the best to me.

Actually I do realise that when/if opera gets more popular it will start becoming more unsecure.
