Your FUD detector needs an overhaul.

[1] ...and as MCBastos points out,
many of these other-vendor "bugs" have *already* been patched
but are **still counted** while many of the M$ bugs go unpatched.
...and time-to-patch for most SERIOUS Open Source browser bugs
is typically less than 1 day.

on the second Wednesday of the month
means that even if M$ writes a patch for that immediately,
the soonest YOU can get that fix is still 4 week away.
Seriously, does that sound like "security" to you?

Is it the way I'm reading that article, or is it the way the article is
written??
Next to the "Staying safe online" block, the article talks about

get the fixes for the Mac....and vice-verse!!
