This weekend was the first time I saw more Firefox Browsers hitting my web site than Internet Explorer. I do nothing to promote either one nor t’other. I attempt to have my web pages looking the same in either too.
This last 6 to 9 months has slowly seen the rise of Firefox users over IExplorer users.
Myself, I’ve taken to using Firefox - not exclusively yet tho’ - for 3 reasons :
- Internet Explorer seems either unwilling or unable - or something else - to interpret CSS correctly. Long gone are the days when the commoners sensed that all other Browsers were “stripped down”!
- I use 2 monitors to make up for the consistent and constant hinderences that Internet Explorer places in the way to my productivity. Yes, I’m sure I want this Active X control to run; Yes, I’m sure I want the Phishing Filter turned off; and Yes, I’m sure I’m sure that I want to download that useful and productive file that I just saw somewhere other than on an MS website. Oh Yes, don’t forget to turn your Internet Explorer 7.0 Menu Bar on either. Trust me. That’ll help!
- The sheer amount of valuable, creative and productive add-ins written for Firefox constantly enable a much richer and healthier web experience. More colors, more variety, more productivity and more choices are the benefits that come to immediate mind.
I hate to follow “groovy” and contemporary trends but…I s’pose that one day soon I’ll be hitting the little check box that nags and whines: “…..are you sure I can’t be your default Browser?…” or something like that anyways.
Stay tooned.
