The article in question tells all of the reasons ActiveX should be ok. But-
the fact is that the ActiveX code has been the source of one vulnerability after the other. The fact is that it would be much, much better to use something like Java that restricted what downloaded code could do. But, then again, Microsoft is more interested in maintaining lockin with ActiveX than switching users to save technology.

And, tell me you understand what Apache is and what the market share is. Then maybe you will stop claiming that higher market share means more vulnerabilities discovered.

No one that I know of said Firefox would have NO problems  Laff | 04/19/05
To say that increased popularity means that FIrefox  Laff | 04/19/05
I didn't say that...  ye | 04/19/05
What does popularity have to do with it?  tic swayback | 04/19/05
There's more people using it...  ye | 04/19/05
You should say, more users would increase the value of exploiting it.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05

Really?  NonZealot | 04/19/05
Actually, I was speaking in general  Hugh Jass | 04/19/05
I put my trust in Firefox, but let's not minimize the vulnerabilities.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05
It's STILL Safer than IE  BitTwiddler | 04/19/05
That would change...  ye | 04/19/05
I doubt it, take Apache for instance.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05
As soon as you say 'Apache',  Hugh Jass | 04/19/05
Actually, no, you are wrong  NonZealot | 04/19/05

Hehe, funny you say this  NonZealot | 04/19/05
NOPE the only way that would change is if Firefox had  Laff | 04/19/05

Im nitpicky  icorson1 | 04/19/05
IE and FF the same  michael-t | 04/19/05
The fact you can not ignore is that Firefox users have been more secure.  DonnieBoy | 04/19/05
Secunia shows Firefox is far more secure  jezlinux | 04/19/05
Again  IT Scion | 04/19/05
huh?  CobraA1 | 04/19/05
Actually  IT Scion | 04/20/05

Firefox simply works better  CobraA1 | 04/19/05
Firefox is by far the best solution for most windows users !!  thetruth_z | 04/19/05
