What is the definition of a good browser?That is something someone asked me some time ago. I think that is easy to answer: A browser that obeys standards, is secure and has the potential to "fail safely". Usually the next question I get is: what do you mean with failing safely? Then I show them a small example of what I mean. And why most browser do not fail safely. It also shows how primitive most browsers are on how they handle generated Javascript. It is true, Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox suck at the three gems of a good browser: Standards, Security and Safe failure. Opera knows how to handle this stuff, they know the drill. Opera is king!
