Googles Chrome Frame, a product that more or less transforms Internet Explorer into Googles Chrome browser, immediately produced a condemnatory release from Microsoft, which claimed that Chrome Frame made Internet Explorer less secure, and chastised Google for releasing the product. [Much as I hate to agree with Microsoft, I've gotta say that they likely have a point -rms] Google almost immediately fired back, implying that Microsoft was being deceptive toward its customers by painting Googles up-to-date Chrome browser as less safe than antiquated versions of Internet Explorer in widespread enterprise use, citing Chromes modern malware protection and anti-phishing features. Google also pointedly excluded Internet Explorer from a list of browsers it says are modern and standards-compliant. [Google has some major security weaknesses of its own, but they've got IE's number on that one - rms] http://www.mxlogic.com/securitynews/web-security/network-security- concerns-cause-browser-spat-between-google-microsoft615.cfm ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org Fuddle duddle. - Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Feb. 16, 1971 http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://twitter.com/rslade http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ http://twitter.com/NoticeBored _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
