browser question

mightymilk · 05-07-2008, 07:51 PM

i switched to Safari a little while back from using IE7. it's been much more stable for me, but i got a question. Safari doesn't seem to have any prompts for installing ActiveX, Java, etc...

i notice the options only lets you enable/disable it, where IE7 lets you have a prompt for each site. because i use windows, i'm worried about viruses and security issues. am i gonna have a problem?

Well it depends if you go on "weird" websites or not..

Many people will tell you to switch to Firefox, it is safer than any other browser and fully customizable. I'm currently using it and never had any virus/problem with it.
