Firefox 2.0 Beats IE 7 On Phishing Prevention

I know we are all very shocked here. In a test designed to see which of the two new browsers catches more phishing attempts. Firefox wins.

The result is Firefox blocked 243 phishing sites that IE7 overlooked, while IE7 blocked 117 sites that Firefox did not.

There is another point in Firefox's favor. IE is more used than Firefox. Still at 88% the last time I checked. So most of the attempts will be tested with IE but not Firefox.

Long story short, use firefox, don't use IE.
