Keep your eye on the security status of web browsers!

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!

This widget doesn't say anywhere that Opera is the safest browser in the world. It just shows the number of known and unfixed holes reported by Secunia. Anyone can draw his own conclusions from this.

I wonder, how you know that Opera is the safest. I mean, what is, if there are bugs in Opera but they are not identified till now?
(Altough I'm a Opera-User I don't think, that Opera is perfect. :\)

Done

you don't have to redownload the widget, just refresh/reopen it

Excuse me.
Will you schedule it corresponding to Firefox3.0?

By Winglord, # Jun 20, 2008 10:44:18 AM

It should be fixed now.

Why is it showing the security rating for Firefox 1.x when Firefox 2.x is the current release with Firefox 3 due to be released soon.

Hi Grafico,

Just saw you've released a bugfix. And wow... it works.

Very pleased! Good work!

Greetz,

Tahar.

It's Ok!

I think the button is blocked when widget position (top-normal-below) is changed. You have to restart widget to unblock it. I think it's bug in Opera, I have the same in other widgets too. I will file a bug report.

@grafio
The close button is not working in Opera 9.5 (Unix 9.5.1992) in Stay Secure 1.79.

1.79, fixed a bug which caused problems in Opera 9.5

By grafio, # May 29, 2008 11:04:40 AM

Sorry, Opera employee has to approve update before it become public. You'll have to wait a bit for 1.78.

By grafio, # May 24, 2008 3:12:19 PM

Still not loading. I am using Opera 9.27

By trmang, # May 24, 2008 3:09:04 PM

1.78 - fixed: widget didn't load any information

By grafio, # May 24, 2008 8:28:40 AM

I feel more secure with this widget already right after I got. It's really sweet just
like the Analog Clock widgets.opera.com/widget/3529/

By waterfan, # May 23, 2008 8:42:06 PM

It might be quite difficult to track the IE (And Firefox's) vulnerabilities due to the following reasons:
1.AFAIK, There's no official statistic for IE8 Beta 1 and Firefox 3 Beta 5.
2.Certain vulnerabilities doesn't affect IE7 when it's running under the Windows Vista's protected mode. (The default mode in Vista.)
So it's not 100% accurate.
But still, Nice widget!

I think it's a bug in Opera so there won't be any fix before final version of 9.50

By grafio, # May 11, 2008 10:33:45 AM

Hi Grafio,

I am using as of Yesterday Opera 9.50b2 and was surprised your widget does not work anymore in that version. Will there be an fix for it soon? I find it a great widget! Neat, small and comprihensive.

Greetz,

Tahar.

Btw, It was always clear for me that your widget is retrieving its information out of an external database and that it does not scan the local machine.

By djthproductions, # May 5, 2008 6:19:42 PM

apumedia, it doesn't work this way. It shows security status of latest versions of browsers as reported by secunia.com site. It shows the security of browsers in general, not the security of your installed software.

By grafio, # Mar 13, 2008 9:32:51 AM

this does not work proberly i uninstalled the secuity updates of the ie and still gives same details. even with the new updates installed it was still the same details, and with not having firefox installed its still reading the same details as well. No other browser is installed but gives details.
