Internet Explorer is best at protecting against drive-by downloads

Internet Explorer is better at defending against drive-by downloads than competitors' browsers and the contest isn't even close, according to a worldwide test of browsers by security research firm NSS Labs.
Internet Explorer scored a 99.2 percent protection score in the firm's most recent test of socially engineered malware distribution, with Google Chrome coming in a distant second with 13.2 percent.

The only time any other browser was actually 'safer' to use was when it's market share was too low to be targeted by the 'jackers'.
