This reminded me of the “too cool for ie” campaign which got me so tempted in putting in my blog. But I felt that’s there’s something wrong with it.

As much as I’d like Firefox’s market share to kick IE’s, this is not the original goal of the mozilla project. What they originally intended to do was to bring back innovation to web browsers AND to make the web really become an agnostic platform where you’re not required to use a single browser or OS in order to enjoy its fullness. Ostracizing IE users from a site therefore puts a web devloper in the level of the other web developers that only allow their sites to be viewed through IE. Or, should i put it: in the very level where MS would like web developers to be… near their ass.

Explorer Destroyer

Check out explorer destroyer, a nifty little tool that will help you, ehem, nudge your IE-using readers towards Firefox. Recall that Google will give you US$ 1 for every user you’ve helped switch over…

i think as long as ffox maintains being a better browser, people will gravitate towards it whether there are campaigns to switch or not

Yes, I hope so.

Thanks. I would also like to thank Sebastian Schmieg for making such a nifty theme.
