3. How much safer is this container than other ActiveX containers?

This container can host only ActiveX documents and not controls. The ActiveX document is a more complex protocol. Typically, a popular ActiveX document server runs in its own process. Therefore, it is safer than other containers that can also host ActiveX controls.
