“Microsoft’s creaking Internet Explorer 6 is more secure and
popular than either Google’s Chrome or Opera US banking giant Chase
has determined.

“The bank’s therefore decided its online baking services will
continue to support aging the IE 6 but drop support for Chrome and
Opera.

“IE 6 is nine years old and even Microsoft is now desperately
speaking out against the browser, to get individuals and businesses
to move on to IE 8.

“Micosoft’s Australian business unit recently equated using IE 6
to being as risky as drinking – or maybe, eating – a carton of
nine-year-old milk as it lacked up-to-date cross-site scripting and
anti-malware protection among other defenses.”
