re: What Browser to Use?

I have to agree with you, especially on the "Configure the browsers' security settings to the prompt you for anything or disable the feature if you are not using it." part. I cannot believe how many people get annoyed with pop up message from switching to secure sites or switching away from secure sites, being asked to run an ActiveX control, etc...

I have everything that I possibly can set to ask me for my Internet zone in IE, and will allow most things in trusted sites (with the obvious disallowing of anything in the restricted sites zone) and ma very happy at the way it works. Personally, rather than be lazy and not know what is going on in the background, I leave them on so I *do* know what is going on without having to check myself.
