Microsoft have released a so called test where users of different browsers can test how secure their browsers are. I tried to run the test in Opera and it refused to set a score for it!

I also tried to 'mask as Firefox' and got 2,5 points. When I tried to mask it as Internet Explorer I got a full score that is 4.

That's because it's not testing your browser at all. It's simply regugitating crap from it's biased lookup charts.

.
It mentions several 'Windows Operating System features' that supposedly only work with I.E. So they are actually browser features then or they would work system wide!
