Read what Secunia has to say about Opera and you may want to correct
this statement. The Firefox holes are a fraction of IE. AT&T labs
states that IE is so fundamentally flawed that it isn't fixable. There
are known vulnerabilities that are more than two years old.

Opera has always been designed with security as a priority. MS admits
to the opposite. Besides, they didn't originate IE. Just the fact the
other browsers are not hooked into the operating system makes them a
better choice. If MS gave as much effort to security and privacy as
they did to OS browser integration... For me, asking the fox to guard
the hen house, especially the largest and greediest fox, is absurd.
