I’ve received today a link to this Browser security handbook written by Michal Zalewski from Google. It is an excellent document worth reading by every webdeveloper. The author does a very thorough comparation of security features of modern browsers, so this document can be handy to check it up when you design/develop a web application and you need to have a clear picture of the security considerations you need to take into account.
