Good Job Germany, but shouldn't Germany have warned to upgrade to IE8 when the debacle of IE6 spread out? I mean, it sounds like double standards since they change their stance once the update firefox was submitted.

Before any of you go out screaming fanboy i use Chrome as my browser. ]]>Mar 23rd 2010 9:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/Mar 23rd 2010 9:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/
*GASP* You mean to tell me NO browser is secure???? *GASP*

Until the human factor is removed (which cannot ever really happen, since humans design the programs and hardware that make the product happen) there will continue to be issues with all software having exploits.

Personally, I'm more worried about Germany.

I mean, it's not like Firefox attempted world domination.

At least there is an organization in Germany which cares about internet safety of their citizens and warns them.

What did engadget expect? That they warn about IE security problems but remain silent on Firefox or others? The organization's responsibility is to watch and warn people.

In addition they exactly specified the unsafe version and mentioned that the upgrade to next version will cure the problem. What else they should have done.

Bravo to them in my opinion.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/
When will you complainers realize that engadget is not a news site. It's a blog.

They can spin info however they want, but there's something to be said for having credibility. If you spin so much that credibility is lost, then what's the point?

I say the above as a general principle, not necessarily about this particular site or this particular story.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 2:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/

It's easy to point to things like this and react by saying it's the government meddling in what you do on your own computer but I doubt that this agency has the power to do much more than give press releases and browser security flaws are big problems that the average person would probably never normally be made aware of.

Perhaps the same job could be done by an independent non-profit organisation but it would take a dedicated organisation to shine a light on this, the media isn't going to care unless someone actively points it out. ]]>Mar 23rd 2010 10:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/Mar 23rd 2010 12:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/]]>Mar 23rd 2010 8:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/Mar 23rd 2010 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Firefox-3-6-2-closes-critical-security-hole-961057.html]]>Mar 23rd 2010 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/Mar 23rd 2010 8:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/

I much prefer Safari for it's standards compliance or Opera for its ease of use / innovation.

That said, Firefox is still a million times better than the IE abominations, but with its quirks it's still just another thing for me to worry about.]]>Mar 23rd 2010 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/Mar 23rd 2010 10:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/Mar 23rd 2010 10:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/Mar 23rd 2010 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/23/germany-keeps-spreading-the-browser-hate-warns-against-firefox/
