"A new study has shown Firefox users are the most likely to have fully
patched browsers and thus be safer online.
The 18 month study, by researchers at the Swiss Computer Engineering and
Networks Laboratory, IBM and Google, found that 83.3 per cent of Firefox
users, 65.3 per cent of Safari users, 56.1 per cent of Opera users, and
47.6 per cent of Internet Explorer (IE) users were using fully patched
browsers."
