Security Comparison of Browsers: An Independent Report

How secure is your browser?
With browsers becoming the preferred attack vector of hackers, browser security plays a critical role today. The number of browser security vulnerabilities may exceed the number of OS vulnerabilities. Recently some browser vendors sponsored studies on similar topics and not surprisingly the sponsoring vendor came out on top. At iViZ we decided to do an independent study of popular browser to analyze:

Vulnerability Trends in Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera and Apple Safari

Types of Security Risks vs. Browsers

Security Weaknesses vs. Browsers

Exploits Availability vs. Browsers

How browser architecture affects security
