Firefox deems favicons risky, banishes them from address bar
April 24, 2012 By
Who’d have thought those tiny reminders of the site you’re browsing could bite your backside? Apparently Mozilla did, and with its latest nightly Firefox build it has expunged favicons from their eternal perch just left of the URL. The problem is that instead something friendly — like Google’s famous “g” — nefarious sites can use a padlock or similar image, making you think you’re on a secure SSL page

Internet Explorer claws back a bit of market share at the expense of Chrome and Firefox
April 2, 2012 By
It may have been on a steady decline for years (albeit still the number one web browser all along), but it looks like Internet Explorer has now once again found itself on a bit of an upswing.
