Great idea but to too many users Internet is just the blue "e" on the Desktop. So we have to hide the "e" an put the "O" on the Desktop an name it "Internet".

Or Onternet. It's strange. I wonder, if Opera got to be popular is it still safe as now? I bet, the answer is no.

remember to change some banners too!

the crucial point here is, however, that those governments recommend to TEMPORARILY switch to "alternative browsers".

declaring IE as a security issue/hole in its own right is long overdue. but will this ever happen in a world where companies make their employees still use IE6?!

Might want to add to your blog post that the Australian government is also warning users about the pitfalls of Internet Explorer!

Hmm... is that the correct translate of BSI press notice

I got few more affiliate points by tweeting about the German and French Governments thoughts on IE

I am from Germany & I think Opera must become even more popular here

Germany has grown smarter

I've always used Opera. And in my job (I'm a teacher) I saw a lot of my class using Firefox Portable, as we're all stuck using Internet Explorer 7. Not my choice, it's the college!

Anyway, after half an hour explaining the benefits of Opera, 10 out of the 12 users who use Firefox have migrated to Opera and all say the same thing. It's fantastic!

The widgets help as well

The world would be a much better place if people didn't settle for mediocrity and weren't lazy.

They want IE 6 users to update to IE 8 (Windows 2000 users can't use IE 8) which I would say would be much much more secure than IE 6 (no phishing protection at all)

my comments: smart people, smart choice, choose opera and say cheese to internet surfing. ciao

what ever they(MS) try ... fact it can never beat Opera

just installed Opera on my parents' computer

How important is browser security to you? very important!

Firefox now takes 35 seconds to load on my 2 GHz PC. Opera loads in a second or two :-) By bye Firefox

Click on "Bookmarks", and then "Manage Bookmarks". This will open the Bookmark Manager in a separate tab. Then you just delete the entries...and Empty Trash if you want them permanently removed.

The only downside that I can find in the new Opera is that is not working anymore on Win9x :(
Opera 10.10 is the only today's modern browser FULL COMPATIBLE with those systems.

I once or maybe even twice, actually threatened my oldest niece that I'd actually do that when she least expected it. She was adamant about her Firefox ... and on her Mac, Safari. I told her if I had to break into her house to do it, I was gonna get her hooked on Opera. She refuses to budge.

What sort of problem? Do you have a problem downloading the actual Browser software or downloading things with the browser??

Right, then.

Yes. 'vorübergehend' is temporarily.
Edit: They can not do it any other way, obviously. They must not recommend any products and they must not tell any people to avoid any special brand. All they are allowed to state is, that there currently is a problem with a specific version
