Safety study of IE and Firefox

Jeff Jones published an analysis on of the vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and Firefox.

I expected to find a list of security problems but I only found a “mine-is-better-than-yours” report. It could have been interesting but for me this kind of comparison is just a waste of time. Who will trust me if I denigrate my competitors? If I spend my time trying to prove that they failed while I still have to improve myself ?

It reminds me a story of Ingvard Kampar, founder of Ikea.
During its first years, at the time when Ikea did not design its own furniture, a pressure from the competitors caused suppliers to boycott Ikea. The competitors tried to "demolish" Ikea instead of improving themselves. Ikea continued to innovate and at the end, won.

What was more interesting in this report is the link to the National Vulnerability Database which tracks vulnerabilities found in various products. Useful!
