Is the Firefox honeymoon over? Posted by George Ou @ 2:13 am

[Updated: 9/16/2005 7:22PM] Now that Firefox has become the first viable contender to Microsoft Internet Explorer in years, its popularity has brought with it some unwanted attention. Last week's premature disclosure of a zero-day Firefox exploit came a few weeks after a zero-day exploit for Internet Explorer appeared on the Internet. Firefox not only has more vulnerabilities per month than Internet Explorer, but it is now surpassing Internet Explorer for the number of exploits available for public download in recent months.

As it's popularity grows...so will grow the number of exploits until it reaches or surpasses IE. It's the popular stuff that gets attacked folks.

I'll still prefer Firefox for its sexy extensions, better tabbed browsing, better popup blocking, and less memory usage. And the fact that it's not integrated with the operating system relieves me a little too.

I don't think there's really a way to avoid exploits, since you'd have to switch browsers like every six months to escape the ones that you'll probably only encounter on pr0n/crackz sites.
