Isn't it great when good things work? There's a site that is trying to get people to block Firefox because if its ability to block ads through an addon called AdBlockPlus. Read about it over at Slashdot. Then go take a look at the horses' asses that are big enough fools to propagate such trash, Why FireFox is Blocked. For those that are Firefox users be sure and click on the 'Firefox Myths' link at the top and have a good laugh.
Here's the deal, IMHO. If you go to a page using the Firefox browser and are blocked then you are using smart computer habits. Face it. If an advertiser tries to force you to use IE7 or one of its many lieutenants you absolutely don't need to do business with the jerks anyway. Nothing infuriates me more than to be diligently surfing the web for info and ads start popping up. Immediately the site is left and I never return.
There are measures used on my computer that brings this to a minimum. Firefox is my #1 browser and #2 Sea Monkey is Firefox/Mozilla based. Only on VERY rare occasions is IE7 used. IE7 is a much improved browser and should be used instead of IE6. But, Firefox is better because of less intrusions and the interface is friendlier. They work to keep the bad guys out and I am not so sure that Microsoft is trying that hard. Rave on Windows Nazis. Yes, the truth does hurt at times.
Click on any of the four logos in this post and download Firefox then have fun knowing that the bad guys are fuming. If adventurous, click on the first link in the first paragraph and install AdBlockPlus to further ban these creeps. Remember you download at your own risk. Stuff works great on all the beach PCs so don't whine if YOU screw something up.
