[QUOTE="ebocious, post: 852058, member: 75834"] In the vast majority of cases, that is true. But it is still possible for a desperate hacker to go portsweeping, and your browser has nothing to do with that. If any application on your computer listens on the firewall, it is a potential vector. At that point, it's up to your network and/or host security to stop exploits from gaining a foothold, or prevent anything from getting out if they do. Your browser is your frontline defense, but it should not be your only defense. [/QUOTE]
