I thought that way too, until people found out how to force viruses on you.
I clicked one link ( torrent tracker link or something like that ) to find a tv show and then everything went downhill.
Dozens of popups showed up and my virus scanner went off saying I had 2 new viruses.

I don't care how safe they make IE nowadays, I could never browse without tabs

well I don't trust such tests as they are all known bugs of a specific browser, and they can't prove which browser is safe or not

but here's a small html file will kill IE (and windows as well):
PHP Code:
<script language="javascript">
while (
1) {
  
window.open("http://www.someurl.com");
}
</script> 
This doesn't "work" with Konqueror btw

If none of the above applies use the feedback form to report the problem.

Same message as Rick... funny enough, it's not my ad blocker program as I turned it off.
