Antivirus and anti-malware can help prevent an infection, the first line of defense is using a secure web browser. For a person that surfs the internet, comparing and contrasting the security of different web browsers is difficult.
Accuvant LABS study has says that Chrome occupies as the most secure browser,while IE and Firefox takes the second and third position. With rating to seven firefox filled only three places. The seven points criteria are Sandboxing, Plug-in Security, JIT Hardening, ASLR, DEP, GS, URL Blacklisting. The following chart shows the anti-exploitation measures used by these browsers. Each row represents a different anti-exploitation technology and each rocket represents a browser. The rocket with the highest position represents the browser with the most thorough anti-exploitation measures.
Accuvant compared browsers from a layered perspective, taking into account security architecture and anti-exploitation techniques. The best way to judge browser security is to first look at anti-exploitation measures that each browser has in place. Accuvant looked at the internals of Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and analyzed the anti-exploitation measures implemented by each.
Anti-exploitation technology can reduce or eliminate the severity of a single vulnerability or an entire class of exploits. Thus, the software with the best anti-exploitation technologies is likely to be the most resistant to attack and is the most crucial consideration in browser security.
