    You're better off running Chrome.

    Oh, I am so pissed at this guy dissing Loonix (it's Lunix BTW, dummy)?

    Where can I find a place to anonymous attack him? Preferably, with personal attacks and comments questioning the character of his mom?

    But, alas, there is so such place . . .

    idiots who want to use what they don't understand deserve to get 0wned.

    Totally. All those drooling idiots driving cars without knowing how an engine and transmission work are just asking for it.

    So by this logic one should just ignore any exploits in IE6 just cause most people are using IE7 or 8?

    Chrome + Adblock > Firefox + Adblock

    There are still open security vulnerabilities for Firefox dating back for years in their trackers, one of which I ran into myself just recently.

    For those with Firefox, just open this lovely link to see for yourself (may want to save anything first and if you have Firefox set to reopen your tabs from last time you may want to disable that before clicking, else you will need to delete the session file that stores the list of open tabs):
