Re: Looks good!

well actually the extensions in firefox is also the source of their biggest security holes they have (hopefully _had_).
I prefer not having 'dynamic' extensions if I lose security.
I am fed up of all these browsers that in the name of extensibility drops basic security measures.
Firefox really disappointed me in that area.
These days, security in browsers should always be first and I have to say that konqui is one of those too few browsers I have never had major security concerns.

as soon as you allow a dynamic thing to come into your browser, you definitely open new security bugs.

just my 2c.

Cheers,
Mik

What's your basis for claiming that?

Doesn't look like many of them are related to extensions as far as I can see.

Well then Konqueror is no good either, unless you switch off Java, Javascript, plugins, etc.
