20 Safari and Preview security flaws
Charlie Miller is looking to take more money and shame Apple in the process yet again.
Good for him! I've quit using Safari because security experts like Charlie have declared it "trivial" to exploit.
I use Firefox and even though nothing is perfectly secure, it has the advantage of many eyes looking at the code so any vulnerabilities get fixed rather quickly.
