For now Opera is the winner with firefox in second place and Internet explorer in third place.
Most important issue is Opera’s response to those problems once discovered! Opera, acts almost instantly to issues – while Microsoft goes on vacation and sticks their collective head in the sand and gets to them later than sooner.
The fact is that Opera is a 10 year plus old product that put security and safety of the browser as the first consideration of any change. That mantra was put in the DNA of the company from day 1.
Opera is the only browser (among the popular browsers with other popular browsers like Internet Explorer (IE), Firefox to have patched 100% of its known security bugs, according to Secunia, a site that tracks security vulnerabilities in various applications…
15 out of 15 bugs/vulnerabilities vs. IE’s 110 or Firefox’s 39 because that’s how many more people use those browsers.
Seems the bugs in the bugs reporting system are always well received in the bug wizard in Opera and are evaluated by Opera QA staff.
Browser patches between Feb 2003 and Jan 2007:
IE6 — 67% patched (out of 110 reported bugs).
IE7 — 25% patched (out of 4 reported bugs).
Firefox 1 — 87% patched (out of 39 reported bugs).
Firefox 2 — 50% patched (out of 4 reported bugs).
Opera 8 — 100% patched (out of 15 reported bugs).
Opera 9 — 100% patched (out of 3 reported bugs).
Opera is the only known browser to be fully compliant. The CSS problems you are having is that you are building for IE which is understanderstandable because that is what the majority of web surfers still use. Its sweet that opera pronounces its victories over security bugs, maybe this will make more people use it.
Hats off to Opera – the best and safest way to browse for now.
