You meant extension? Plugins are things such as Flash player. Extensions are things such as Flash Blocker

I'm saying it's possible for Plugins to contain spyware, just like .xpi Extensions. That's what you get when you open your program up to extensibility.
A plug-in is installed by a user downloading and running an *.exe. Needless to say, if a user does this, the horses have already bolted and the fox has left the chicken coop.
An extension is installed by clicking on a link and then accepting a browser dialog. Same as a widget or skin or menu layout or a number of other things in Opera. Rather simpler. :PBlog | Civ2 Scenario League | leo.petr at gmail.comComment

To install an .XPI from an external source (non-Mozilla), they need to add the site as one allowed to install extensions (complete with a warning that the site and the extension are not verified). Then they need to install it again from there. During the process they are also displayed another warning for non-digitally-signed extensions.Originally posted by St Leo

I don't see how this is much different than installing an .EXE. In fact, it's easier to download an .EXE and choose "Run" when it's done...
What you're doing is spreading FUD, which is shameful. Opera supporters are nearly as grating and annoying as Mac supporters.
Opera and Firefox are both succeptable to spyware and malware if the user is a moron.
The difference is Firefox is a better browser because it allows extensibility."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

And on your latter point - why by an overpriced Mac and install Windows when you could just, now wait for it, buy a PC

3. More reliable
4. Virus and Spyware free platform

Nope, plugins. Flash, media player, etc, no longer work in 1.5."Let us kill the English! Their concept of individual rights could undermine the power of our beloved tyrants!"

I wouldn't know. I haven't tested 1.5 on Windows because a couple of extensions I have isn't up to speed yet. Though it works fine on Linux. At least Flash and Java work with FF1.5 under Linux.Originally posted by Kyle

FWIW, Flash works with FF1.5 on my Windows box too.
