Interesting time spent tonight hunting browsers. I had always used the standard pre-downloaded explorer browser on my home operating systems until my sister-in-law recommended Firefox several years ago. Since, then I have become a somewhat frequent listener of Kim Commando and have heard her laud the security advantages of Firefox. So, I have stuck with it.
However, after tonight's perusing, I may consider changing. I will first want to research the security of the other browser options. The two that I used tonight were:
1. Chrome: I found it to be very fast and it has a much cleaner bar area. I liked the how when I opened a new tab that all of the recent pages that I visited showed up.
2. Safari: At first I was somewhat unimpressed with this browser. That was until I discovered the small boxes/ new tab key. It was a little hard to find, since I didn't know what I was looking for, but it was very impressive once I found it. It was almost like I was viewing a panoramic magazine. The two choices of top sites and history made internet hunting very fun and easy to read. At this point, I think Safari will be my new choice of browsers (assuming it is secure).

As far as I know,Firefox, Chrome and Safari all have higher marks for security than Internet Explorer. (Microsoft products are notorious for their security issues - but then they are out there the most and the easiest target.)
