Read it through Hacker News pointing to http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/microsoft-switch-from-ie-and-your-risk-increases-664429 Its TechRadar, so I thought it to be legitimate. Quoting from that article about firefox: """"""""""""""""""""""""""" Less secure "The net effect of switching [from IE] is that you will end up on less secure browser," insisted Evans (Microsoft's UK security chief ). "The risk [over this specific] exploit is minimal compared to Firefox or other competing browsers… you will be opening yourself up to security issues. "There are broader risks and issues with other browsers."
