IE 8 To Include New Security Tools

Trailrunner7 writes "Internet Explorer has been a security punching bag for years, and rightfully so. IE 6 was arguably the least secure browser of all time. But Microsoft has been trying to get their act together on security, and the new beta of IE 8, due in August, will have a slew of new security features, including protection against Type-1 cross-site scripting attacks, a better phishing filter and better security for ActiveX controls."

Was I the only one to misread the title?

Was I the only one to misread the title as: "IE 8 To Include New Security Holes" ?

Let me guess...

An 'Install Firefox' button?

Nope, just the best one to date.

"Uninstall Internet Explorer 8? Are you sure? Yes/Yes"

Perfect security tool, IMHO.

So keep using internet exploder 7 'till then, k?

We promise you IE8 will be cool.

PS- Despite what anyone tells you, don't get 'fire fox,' it's probably a virus.

The most welcome security feature...

Perhaps the most long-awaited security feature of all, the IE8 team promises that it will immediately uninstall itself if someone mistakenly puts it on their PC.

While IE7 is still a big pile of crap, it's not QUITE as bad as IE6. Maybe IE8 will be not QUITE as bad as IE7... It could be the beginning of an underwhelming trend!
