Keep your eye on the security of popular Web browsers.
WARNING: The development of this widget by me is OVER. Some parts of it or the whole widget may be broken. I cannot remove my widgets, broken or not, once they are uploaded thanks to awesome Opera Software policy ("No, you can't delete your own widgets"). So there you go.
Also from now on my code and graphics in this widget is released into public domain.
***
This widget shows the security status of the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Opera and Safari. 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 by itself DOES NOT make you more secure or protect you from anything. 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!

The close button is not working in Opera 9.5 (Unix 9.5.1992) in Stay Secure 1.79. It closes fine in the windows build 9.5.10024, but refuses to close using the close button in the Unix build (Ubuntu x86_64).
Edit:
Scratch that. The problem is that it won't close in either when it is set to stay below.

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!

edit: actually it's another problem, I fixed it

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.

Yeah.. Maxthon = IE. They only built a new interface with lots of features (that IE doesn't have) around the IE engine. It uses the IE engine to render the pages, this means that it suffers from the same incompatibility problems, shitty CSS support and it's also subject to all security issues that the IE engine might have.

What about Maxthon browser ( http://www.maxthon.com/ )? Almost 114,000,000 have downloaded it. It has some good features, such as built-in notepad.

Well, I'm torn. I like Firefox. I simply need to use Opera. Simple as that. I would only use Firefox, but Firefox on Linux is just god-awful lag. I don't know perhaps it is because I just copied over my Firefox Windows profile? Oddly enough, Opera on Windows doesn't run within any tolerable constraints for me (lag!), yet firefox works. Firefox on linux is nothing but lagging and crashes. So on my linux install I use opera. I wouldn't mind this so much were it not for the fact that I can't seem to find something similar to NoScript for Opera. I know, disable globally in preferences than enable it on a site-by-site basis, but this doesn't quite give me the ease of use/control that I seek. Meh, I'll have to survive.
A bit more ontopic:
This widget doesn't actually seem useful. Perhaps as an example of how to make a widget that can scrape data off of a website, but the actual usefulness is limited. Since it is an opera widget, the only people who would use it are opera users. And nobody who is not a security research is really going to care all too much about the security of other browsers. And security researchers probably already reference Secunia.
