    I thought you were just writing about system passwords. I don’t save website passwords in my browser - but I’m glad that windows users have a more secure option to do so.

      Yes, Microsoft is certainly an oligopoly that abuses its position with sometimes unethical practices and Windows by default is full of all kinds of spyware and not very respectful of user privacy (although with a little knowledge you can disable these bad habits), but in point security is impeccable and perhaps one of the most secure OS currently. Apparently MS has learned a lot from the past, precisely because it is the main target of the attacks as the majority OS is. The defenses he currently incorporates are among the best on the market.

        It makes sense that they would need to do so, given the end-user idiocy mentioned in your other comments on this post. I know plenty of technical users of Windows, but I also know everyone else in my life who uses Windows - the technically savvy users are a rounding error.

          I think, that has nothing to do with the OS they use. A user with a basic tecnical knowledge can be secure in every OS, the user without isn’t in none of them.
