If you guys want to do something really stupid and risky, browse under Android. All major browsers that are there, are total and complete security and privacy failures, even Firefox (not to mention that Firefox is slower than a snail on Android, its practically unusable). And when I say total and complete security and privay desasters, than you better take me by my word.

Its so FUBAR that I have banned comfortably browsing via my WLAN-tab completely. Several tests that I read over the past 12-18 months, time and again have confirmed that. Compared to any browser under Android, Chrome and Explorer 9 on Windows are high tech security zones. Under Android, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, all are insane to use. And the most fearsome news is that all these browsers under Android are especially vulnerable to Phishing attacks, which currently is the main attack scheme out there. Only Firefox caught at least 1 such attack in a recent test (and failed on four others) - all others failed totally, did not catch even one attack. None. Rien. Zero. Nill. Nada.

Zero Day Exploits: now we talk about really desperate things. We debate it later, I have to cry a while before I can carry on.

Browse under Android, if you think you must. But intelligent it is not.

Banking via banking app on Android? That is Russian roulette in the digital age!
