Online Banking Customers Migrating To Lynx

Posted by Soulskill on from the browsers-with-character dept.

Jibbler writes "Following the recent Pwn2Own competition, in which Firefox, IE8 and Safari all fell quickly to exploits, Netcraft has observed a surge in popularity of the text-based Lynx browser. Netcraft points out that Lynx supports the latest cryptographic ciphers, and at least one online banking site has seen Lynx usage overtake that of Internet Explorer and Firefox. To boost Lynx's excellent security history, Netcraft has even developed a version of its anti-phishing toolbar for Lynx."

    Yet another failed troll, today's stories are far from humorous.

    Why not make a story about the churches of Scientology and Pastafarianism merging? That would be much more interesting.

    Given that this is a US-based site and that 30% of the people in the US would consider themselves serious Christians, I'd say you have a pretty good chance of finding a number of mods who believe Jesus is God.

    Even if this is not the case, long lasting extant belief-systems are generally not treated the same as new belief-systems, perhaps in part based in the idea that spiritual truth should have been discerned some time ago if it were ever going to be.
