Get A Real Web Browser

I've been reading alot lately about how Mozilla is about to get alot more serious about promoting Firefox to the unwashed masses still using Internet Explorer, people who dont even know they have a choice. I was wondering how the Firefox community was going to go about this seeing as how its a poor little open-source community vs. the giant robot of corporate America. In true David vs. Goliath fashion, I ran across this website today Kill Bills Browser. It's guerilla marketing at its finest so I thought they deserved a nod here (not that that means much, but still, PROPS!). Microsoft is evil evil evil; they go against web standards and implement stuff in their browser that is meant to be proprietary in the hopes of making developers choose whether to code for standards or code for IE; and because IE has massive market-share, many developers and small companies have no choice but to bend to Bill's Will, but now we are going to rise up and Kill Bill.

If you're too lazy to follow the link above, I'll summarize: the site gives users 13 great reasons to switch, most of which involve stopping your machine from getting spammed by viagra ads and porn. The last reason is the best I think:

13. Because the Department of Justice Lacks Balls.

They spent years and years on the Microsoft anti-trust suit and it did absolutely nothing to reduce Microsoft's monopoly. Great work guys. It's time to take the law (erm, the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890?) into our own hands.


That's right: Using Firefox is an act of civil disobedience. My readers are smarty-pantses (yeah, I check the logs, ok?) and most of you are already using FF or some other non Internet-Exploder browser so to you I give a shout-out, and to the rest of you: switch already, dammit!!!

To be fair, I'll present the other side of the story which is that I've heard that many of Mozilla/Firefox's developers are being snapped up by Google for day-jobs; which basically means that David is packing some serious nukes in his back pocket. To demonstrate how serious this war has become, Google is offering $1 for every IE user that web publishers deliver from evil at ExlorerDestroyer.com. I am not going to participate in the $1 per user thing because I'm not really into Firefox getting gobbled up by Google, either, and it would be hypcritical for me to take their fuck-bill money, so I'll just say this: if you decide to switch your shit, you can switch it here.
