According to an article on TechNewsWorld, IE8 could be more secure than firefox and chrome, just because there's more speed in the execution of javascript in the new firefox and chrome browsers. While IE is only optimized for popular pages (rendering). I'm sorry but this smells like FUD.

...is about as stable as jelly in a wind-tunnel, protects you about as well as a tin-foil hat, rusts in less time than a handstand takes, is catch-of-the-day for car thieves, stops on a dime (that happens to be about sixty yards down the highway) BUT the electric windows roll up a LOT faster than anyone else's...
???

Is this a bot keying on the word Chrome?
Good question, not sure what to make of this one...
Let's gather in a circle and poke it with sticks. That works when you're at the beach and find a weird critter washed up.
Do I hear a second on TC's poke it with sticks proposal?

We have a second.

All those in favor...

All those against...

The ayes have it.

Let the record show that the proposal known as 'Poke TC with sticks' unanimously passed this day.
Quoting:BUT the electric windows roll up a LOT faster than anyone else's...
And amputates whatever limb happens to be in the way.
Put those sticks down guys. AnonymousCoward's posting history indicates it's not a bot. We don't have anonymous posters here at LXer so it's a real user account and not a catch-all.

I think the original post is a clever analogy to the article, with cars equating browsers and the speed of JavaScript execution equating the speed at which the electric windows roll up. They both contribute nothing to security :-)
But it sure reads like the random text used in spams :)
The main thing I don't understand about our cowardly friends post is the first part sounds like he is describing IE, but the fast windows belong to FF and Chrome. Shouldn't it be that the car is safer because it takes longer to roll up the windows?

Not if the threat is assumed to be coming from outside the car.
@theboomboomcars: Yes, I noticed that too.
