I found this widget and thought other Opera users would enjoy this.


Stay Secure by grafio
V1.0

It shows the security status of IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Konqueror.

Keep your eye on the security of browsers! This widget shows the security status of IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Konqueror. 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.

No way is KHTML (Konqueror) worse than Gecko (Firefox).

Gecko has more security holes, yet KHTML has more severe holes. Doesn't mean its worse, but you do have to remember there are many more people working on the Gecko engine than the KHTML engine. Severe holes in Gecko are patched faster than in KHTML.

What about WebKit, as it's the one I'm pinning my hopes on.

Safari is the indicator for Webkit.

I have no idea about the accuracy of that widget, but since IE is most vulnerable, it is likely an accurate reading.
