Internet Explorer is besieged with security flaws while Safari adds support for RSS and non-standard extensions. Is this the start of Browser War II? Can Mozilla-based browsers corner 6% of the market by year end? And if they do, will they be targeted by the same crackers who go after IE flaws?

Brendan and The Gang also discuss a number of new browser features including an embedded rich-text editor and support for a better plug-in installation technology.
