Keep Recommending Firefox!

In: geek

23 Aug 2007

Believe it or not, there are still a great deal of people using Internet Explorer that shouldn’t be. These same people have no idea they have a choice of browsers. The mindset is that Internet Explorer is, “the Internet”. I’ve been working with some of my family members on tuning up their machines and I’ve noticed they all used Internet Explorer. I recommended they all “upgrade” to Firefox and they couldn’t be happier. Some of the reasons I heard amazed me:

“Firefox’s favorites bookmark handling “makes more sense”"
“Pages load faster”
“I don’t get those stupid ad windows anymore”
“I love how it works”

I’m paraphrasing a lot of these, but you get the idea. So if you notice someone still using Internet Explorer on their computer, please do them a favor and enlighten them to GET FIREFOX!!

In general, I agree with you. However, don’t delete IE from your system.

Yahoo Launchcast, for starters does not work at all with Firefox. Also, I have found several business to business ecommerce sites that will either not work at all or don’t work properly with Firefox.

This has left me with a dilema – use IE exclusively or only use it when I have to (and try to remember for which sites to use IE). I have chosen the latter – I just bookmark / favorite them

What about the rapid fire patches Firefox had to release one for a vulnerability that was previously discovered and fixed in IE?
