Firefox vs IE

Here at the BootsnAll office, we’re pretty much committed to using Firefox as our browser of choice. It’s been that way since the early days. News today that IE has a major security flaw is unlikely to change that choice. Seems a massive hole has been exploited to steal gamer passwords, but could easily be engineered to steal a lot more. No doubt M$ is scrambling for a patch, but this could provide a massive boost to the alternative browsers out there.

Curiously, this news is not being touted much in US news. I had to look far from the home page of major news sites to find the story. From around the world though:

• the BBC
• The Guardian
• Microsoft themselves

So when you’re browsing BootsnAll, be sure to use Firefox!
