Apple's Safari browser likened to malware

San Francisco - Mozilla chief executive John Lilly has lambasted Apple for its use of iTunes to offer the Safari web browser to Windows users, saying the technique "borders on malware distribution practices" and undermines the security of the Internet.

Apple said Safari currently has about 5 percent of the market, a figure the company is setting out to increase.
