They have a "sandbox" within Chrome where things get opened in a way that screens it off from the rest of your machine, making it harder for the nasties to get you. Not impossible, but harder.

I had an issue in the last week in which Chrome got very S L O W and I uninstalled and reinstalled it, did a scan of my laptop to be sure I hadn't picked up a nasty, which I hadn't!

They certainly wouldn't think about downloading and installing things - it may break their machine. And what they've got looks OK on the outside, so why change? <br /><br />Also many countries still only have dial-up - I remember the days of downloading my mail, reading a web site, and coming offline quickly before I spent a fortune. We certainly didn't download programs.<br /><br />As a recent Linux convert, I can't think why I ever used Windows, let alone IE. :)<br /><br />Great article - thanks!<br />Dianne Reuby<br />http://easter.byethost22.com/Dianne Reubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13269666457575256678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411685887179498191.post-26261925133058479622011-02-08T14:07:13.890-06:002011-02-08T14:07:13.890-06:00The funny thing is that since I posted this articl...The funny thing is that since I posted this article, the percentage of IE users has increased to 35%.
