It looks like Safari was the first browser to pass the Acid2 test, with Konqueror coming in second. The other major browser's continue to work out bugs to make themselves compatible. It appears that a challenge was issued to M$, to see if they could straighten out some of their past problems in IE7. I plan on following this to see if they can do it.

yeah, that's a interesting site, not a surprise that IE failed it.

Secunia over-rates some of there warnings... not neccessarily corporate interests. CVE's BUG-traqs (BIDS) are more compliancy stuff.

there is one simple reason why is konqueror safari and other not so well knows browsers more "secure" then others.
and thats becouse noone realy wont to exploit other browsers then IE and FF ... becouse 0.5% of people use other... and black hackers and other dont see anything useful in exploiting them.

Safari is Apple's IE, comes standard with Mac OS X. It's pretty well known.
