[Microsoft flags Firefox and Chrome for security failings]
Of course when I go to:
http://yourbrowsermatters.org/
It doesn't check squat. For mine:
"We can't give you a score for your browser".
OK fine.

That indicates to me that they don't test crap& have simply put up the
site (an .org no less) as a pure marketing ploy.
I hit the site with SM 2.5.beta2 but using "PrefBar" I spoofed MS IE 9:
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/5.0)
Guess what? I got a score of "4 out of 4"
So much for the credibility of that site.
