"In your opinion, which is the safer combination OS+browser to use?

That’s a good question. Chrome or IE8 on Windows 7 with no Flash
installed. There probably isn’t enough difference between the browsers
to get worked up about. The main thing is not to install Flash!"

Any web sites might be better. It is hard to not encounter sites that
make extensive use of flash no matter what you might be looking for.
