Security Week in Review (2008-03-23)

I wish I had more to comment on this week. The Firefox release ate an extraordinary amount of my time, so there's not much content.

Secure Browser?
I ran across a story last week about researchers creating a secure web browser.

It seems there is work being done on a new secure web browser. The authors think that the current browsers suffer from fundamental design flaws that cannot be overcome. The notable thing is that from reading the article it's Open Source software being used. As the current offerings such as XULRunner and WebKit will allow various third parties to easily create niche browsers such as this. While this browser will likely never become a mainstream offering, it is nice that it can fill a hole in the current offerings.

Firefox 2.0.0.13
Firefox 2.0.0.13 was released this week. There's not much to say beyond, make sure you're running it.
