The Most Secure Browser.

I'm not exactly biased when it comes to picking browsers upon their security features. This list below is my personal list based upon my own experience. Since this year will be my anniversary -I should say decennial- of being 10 years on the Internet and actually used almost any browser known to man in those ten years, I lived through the infamous "browser war", have seen the rise of Netscape navigator and Opera, watching Safari getting wet feet's on enemy ground and saw the downfall of Microsoft Internet Explorer. That all said I think it is time to look back and see what 10 years brought us, or in this case me.My list of most secure browsers to this date. 1. Opera 2. Mozilla Firefox (+addons like NoScript) 3. Safari Mac. 4. Microsoft Internet Explorer 5. Safari for Windows I'm really into Opera lately, I think they did an amazing job of creating a very secure browser. Wrapping it in a slick design and making it lightning fast, it's really my favorite and it will be for a long time. Safari needs to stay home, though they are in beta these days -which actually is an excuse- I think they learned a good lesson on how difficult it is to develop a browser in a windows environment, what did they expect? Mozilla was running the show for being a secure browser a long time, but still it lacks the failsafe semantics of Opera. Mozilla does a good job but it really doesn't do it for me anymore. Microsoft Internet explorer fails to learn from previous mistakes, old bugs are revived after they patch a few others. To me it seems they have a very chaotic patch management system based upon this.So, I'll pick Opera as my favorite this year, tell me what is your choice? and why do you think it's the most secure one?
