Deepnet has released its 1.3 version of its Deepnet Explorer, which it claims is more secure than all other browsers. But before you get too excited, Deepnet is just a free web browser based on Microsoft's IE. It does come with additional features, including one designed to against "phishing" and other security features, such as a "content control" function that allows users to block ActiveX controls and other potential security risks.

According to the Deepnet web site, it is a lot safer than IE because most of the Volish problems that effect it are problems with the application shell, not the rendering engine that Deepnet uses.

Of course, this is a bit of spin as there have been a fair few problems found with IE’s rendering engine. While the Deepnet people are peddling their browser under the ‘we are very secure’ tag, the 1.3 update actually fixes several security vulnerabilities.

Deepnet Explorer was also vulnerable to the high-profile "iframe" vulnerability in IE. On the plus side it does do tabbed browsing, just like Firebadger.

Ermm... mis ajast tähendab see, et paari IE auguga hakkama saadakse seda, et tegu on kohe mingi "kõige turvalisema braseriga"? Reklaamiosakonnad teadupärast ainuüksi sellejaoks eksisteerivadki, et (võimalikele) klientidele puru silma ajada või siis sõna otseses mõttes näkku valetada...

Mõnele laiskvorstile ajab asja ära. Ega need muud vahendid ka täiesti aukudeta ole!!! Seega, kui ta pealisehitusena IE-l häälestust karmimaks keerab ja auke lapib, siis võib tavakasutaja jaoks olla tulemus üsna turvaline - eriti, kui muid turvameetmeid kah veidigi järgida ja tulemüür jms. ka arvutis eksisteerib.
