ps, another nice feature of Google Chrome is that they embed adobe flash and auto-update it. so, I know if I set a friend up with Google Chrome, they are not going to be getting exploited by a 1 year old Adobe Flash vulnerability.


and..  in case any reads this wondering what a sandbox is...  basically,  the browser runs and locks the webpages in a separate memory space, in a vault. nothing can come out of the vault and on to the computer without your permission, so even if the website does some exploit to hijack a plugin, its still locked inside the memory space vault/sandbox and can not reach your computer. (really lame description)

I have researched this and there is a method to PREvent memory coding within IE8 (not9), Firefox(all v) and Chrome. All you need to do is type in (said) code to browser URL and click enter.
