This widget shows the security status of the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Konqueror 3. The bars represent how dangerous is the worst unfixed hole (not the number of holes) - the lower a bar, the better security. The data about the vulnerabilities is loaded from Secunia site. It's refreshed once per hour.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The widget DOES NOT make you more secure by itself. This is a general information accurate only for the latest versions of the browsers. Always use the most current version of your browser and install security patches!
There's a typo in the code that invokes an error message:
CSS - file://localhost/home/username/.opera/widgets/stay_secure-1_73.zip/index.html HTML style attribute padding-rigth is an unknown property Line 1: padding-rigth: 3px;
cjow88: almost all Widgets are resizable ; just click on them and use the Num Lock + (Plus) key to zoom and the - (Minus) key to shrink. Note these are the numlock keys : the + and - on the ordinary keyboard won't work.
I think it's a nice widget - kind of tells us what we already know but still.
PS Isn't it amazing how many post without reading earlier comments.
Cool! Is there a way to add that widget to a normal web site, so you can talk people into using Opera? It looks nice, it's small and it's very informative. I would gladly use that in my website.
Nice widget. Doesn't seems to work with Proxomitron through - then it just stays in Loading state. Maybe Proxomitron alters the code this widget parses?
Hey, I would like to say, interesting Widget. I do notice, contrary to what many fellow Firefox users say, security flaws listed for Opera. Yes, I am a Firefox user, and I am not surprised to see security flaws for Firefox either, you can't expect Mozilla to make everything perfect, same for Opera. I admit, Firefox isn't the best, but it works for me.
thanks this is great, two things, ive been looking for a site that displays security holes, and a application that displays the info. your widget did both for me. I was reading info about browser issues at ZDnet. im just wondering if you can add mozilla seamonkey to it, that was my browser and i am migrating from it.
I tried v1.72 a while back and it worked great. But after a while it stoped when Secuina changed their web page.
I just remembered it and came to see if there was a new version. There was. But tihs one doesn't work either. I suppose Secuina have changed their web page again?
Ah well, I suppose it's not vital - we all know the most secure browser anyway. But I hope it's fixed soon.
Very nice widget, saves me from having to look at the Secuina records for each, this widget gives a brief summary much quicker.
One question, does the widget display the number of actual security holes, or does it only display the number of advisories? (I can't check for myself since the number of unpatched security holes in each browser is equal to the number of unpatched advisories) What I'm referring to is some advisories contain multiple security holes. For example, the most recent advisory for Opera 9.x contains 2 security holes.
It's no real difference either way in my opinion, since Firefox is the only browser that tends to have a large amount of vulnerabilities packed into a single advisory, and you said yourself this is only really to compare Opera's security with others.
What I want is a browser that is secure and still be fast!!! Unless IE 7.0 is a big improvement over 6.0, we can all agree it isn't secure. And I have 7.0 and it isn't fast. I downloaded Firefox because I had problems with trojans and spyware from using the resource-hogging AOL browser. I read Firefox was very secure. Firefox was fast for like one day and then it kinda stops for a few seconds when I try to change tabs or scroll a webpage. I disabled everything that may have been stalling it (such as, the one add-on I got, pop-up blocker, anti-spyware, anti-virus) and I increased the cache from 50 MBs to 650 MBs. But, yet it still stalls. I did notice there are a lot of webpage errors in the log. So, I downloaded Opera (which I used a while back for a short time). Opera seems to be very similar to Firefox. They both also seem to be buggy. Opera froze-up twice on the first day using it. Give me a browser that is fast, stable, and secure please!!!!!!!!!

Actresspt: This widget wouldn't work on a normal website, because it uses cross-site XMLHttpRequest.

What do I have to do to remove it COMPLETELY so i can try a fresh install?

My comments... would love it to be a little bigger, cover both IE6 and IE7 and show the number without needing a mouseover.
