I was under the impression that this is one of the better browsers for security because they designed it from the scratch. (Of course it use the webkit). Also It uses the google's data base for all the malware / spyware hosting web site. ( Wel.. you could use the Google Desktop to do that. You do not need the Chrome Browser). Now I am thinking this is one of the worst browser for security.
Seriously, Google. Provide more optionts to disable tthe ActiveX options. It has some command line options to turn off everything except ActiveX...
Until Google improves the handling of ActiveX, It is going to be the worst browser for Security reasons.
