http://www.zdnetasia.com/report-ie9-safest-browser-against-malware-62301643.htm
Firefox has turned out to be a major disappointment of late, failing to warn me about many dangerous websites. Reason enough for me to eliminate a once preferred browser. IE9 and Chrome worked where Firefox failed, plugins or not. I'm using IE 9 more often now, haven't done so for a year or so.
A couple things I like to point out:
The article is 8 months old.
Also, I notice the comparison is against Firefox 4. Latest version is 10.0.2. Is it being implied that there have been no improvements between versions 4 through 10?
IE9 is a dog in terms of speed. Chrome is the fastest admittedly, but IE9 is definitely one of the slowest in terms of performance.
As far as warning of websites not to visit, I hate that. Either you know what you are doing when you are surfing the web or you don't in my opinion. Too much nanny-ware for my tastes. Yet, I can see where this is good for most.
