I'll give it away: not surprisingly ... Chrome won.

Yeah, the way the researcher broke IE 8 is documented in his paper (warning: geek content ahead ): HERE, and it is amazingly complicated!93coupe wrote:Neato stuff. People that are that good with computers boggle my mind in a scary sort of way.

Doesn't chrome try to keep everything (like flash) in the sandbox? Also, this is one of the benefits of open source software. Some of the users are just as smart as the hackers, so they can go in and close the holes before they are exploited.

Re: (93coupe)
Uh, which link? The one in my original post (that is simply a web site) or the later one (it is a PDF file, so needs you to have Adobe PDF reader available on your system). If the latter, I'll edit and make it clear in my post.93coupe wrote:Well, I clicked the link to try to understand what was going on. It locked up my browser.
Coincidence?
It should not have locked your computer up in any way.

Re: (PEZi720)
I would switch to chrome as well, but the dev build for linux doesn't support pinning tabs, and that is a major selling point for me. The older versions (like on windows) support it, so I'm sure it will be replaced. Also, I need those tabs to be persistent.PEZi720 wrote:i'll prolly use chrome once we switch the new forum server... the only reason i still use firefox is for firenico which will not be working on the new server

Ubuntu 9.10, probably soon to be 10.04.
Except my HTPC, that's still on 9.04 as it'll be a lot of work to upgrade. That will probably get upgraded to 10.04 (skipping 9.10) because Lucid is LTS.
