Browser Wars

I think this is just about tacky - ExplorerDestroyer. It's no secret that Firefox is favored over Internet Explorer at the beach house, but this campaign seems almost underhanded. Hey, what should you expect from the people that in a different incarnation wanted you to pay for a webbrowser back many years ago? After all, a lot of the coders, engineers, etc., that work for the Mozilla Project (they created and maintain Firefox) came from what is now AOHell uh, uh, AOL. The browser division seems to have formed from people that were Netscape employees back before AOHell acquired them. I do use Firefox as the default browser, but sometimes IE does a better job. Anyway, this is most likely going to deter as many folks as it attracts. Negative thinking sucks.

Any opinions?
