In a historic agreement, the makers of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera, and Konqueror have agreed on a common set of security features that will be implemented into future versions of their respective browsers. The developers of the four applications had been in discussion for some time over ways in which they could make browsing safer by making it more obvious to users when a site is trying to pull a fast one on them.

Loads man, quite a few of the vulnerbalities are due to Javascript. Just take a look at the IE/Firefox/Opera section at secunia.com. Using something like the NoScript extension is avery good idea. And less annoying web objects as well. Can't wait for the day when Firefox-core will allow me to whitelist cookies/javascript/flash and referrers per site.
