"One of the things we've seen in the last two years is that attackers aren't even go after the browser itself anymore," Eric Lawrence Security Program Manager on Microsoft's Internet Explorer team said. "The browser is becoming a harder target and there are many more browsers. "So attackers are targeting add-ons."
This kinda makes sense since whether you're running IE, Firefox, Safari or Chrome you could still be at risk if there is a vulnerability in Flask, PDF, QuickTime or another popular add-on. Or does it?"
