Yahoo News (via Slashdot) is reporting that "The Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team touched off a storm this week when it recommended for security reasons using browsers other than Microsoft's Internet Explorer."
Wow. Anyone who has ever spent time supporting Microsoft products knows whow buggy IE can be. That's why so many people have problems with browser hijackers, adware, spyware, etc. You know it's bad, though, when the Federal Government says as much.
I've been using Mozilla on my home Linux PC for sometime and have been happy with it. I had been using IE at work though since we are a heavily Microsoft shop.
Well, I went out and installed a copy of Mozilla's Firefox browser onto my laptop to give it a spin.
Sw33tn3ss!
There are a few things I can't run on it, most notably some admin tools that most people wouldn't use anyway. But so far, so good. I'm going to play with it some to see what (if anything) I end up missing.
