Internet Explorer has no competitor for the title of least secure browser. Whilst it is embedded into the operating system, it has the most serious design flaw around. Adding ActiveX means it is a larger target than any other browser. I’m not saying any browser is secure but Microsoft needs to remove it from the OS and allow components not to be installed to give it a chance of being as secure as anything else.
