In the dim and distant past this blog featured various computing issues. Given the current rash of security updates and concerns about safe browsing I thought I would mention that Opera remains the safest way to browse, and is the only one of the three main browsers (IE, Firefox and Opera) that consistently makes sure that it is 100% patched. (And yes I know this is a Windows-centric view of the world.)

  1. This is why I use Opera the most. Maybe 70% of my browsing is through Opera.
    This is one of the rare posts you make without photos of wildlife in your area 😀

  2. It semed timely to post this, plus I took very few photos yesterday and no wildlife at all (very unusual for me).

  3. I really hate IE! The only reason I keep it on my computer is to test my website for cross-browser compatibility.

  4. Well it serves that purpose I guess. It's mainly things like audio and video I check across all browsers, given that they all seem to handle plug-ins in different ways.
