[OT] Browsing the internet... It is safer from Linux?

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi All,

Recently I have been considering seriously to unplug all
my Windows computers from the internet and
use only Linux to browse and download updates.

In truth,
How safe is using Linux browsers in the internet?
Most exploits seems directed to Windows and Mac users
but are Linux users really exempt from these risks???

What are your first hand experiences with the most common
security risks under the Linux platform?
