Another instalment of Ask OSNews. A reader sent us in a question about browser security and privacy. "Could you please advise me and your readers on what you consider to be the safest web browser? I am considering the term 'safe' from both a privacy and security stand point."

This is a great opportunity to ask about the (supposedly very secure) "OP web browser". Anyone got an idea what happened to this browser? Does it even exist?
http://code.google.com/p/op-web-browser/
This page says: "A new web browser that is designed to support web-based applications securely, called the OP web browser. This browser is based off of research from the University of Illinois and we plan to post our code here in early '09."

This paper explains the technical details of the OP web browser.
