``which
of course, is basically meaningless except to ones initial choice of browser.

once that choice is made, it is fair to assume that *any* security vulnerability will be addressed quickly.''

Wise people think before chosing. The magnitude of flaws is a major factor to consider. So is the quality of the 'correction' process.

I would rather have a small browser, like firefox, which runs everywhere and it has very minor vulnerabilities, to a browser developed by a company with countless resources and they can still NOT make it right. Did I mention firefox is free and beta? It still though beats the pants off of IE left and right.

If you demand quick fixes then you should consider helping out these guys financially.
