No matter how good they make the privacy in the browser, will people really believe it? Microsoft has done nothing but say how much they care about your privacy and security through the whole IE lifecycle.

Same as Safari. If any part of it is closed source, you're basically just taking their word for it that they're respecting your privacy.

Firefox is fully open source.

And how many people have actually inspected the source code of Firefox closely enough to be sure what it is doing?
