I’m sick of running into friends that still use Internet Explorer for their browser. Ok, let me break this down for the ones that are. If you are still using IE then you probably have no clue what I’m talking about. You know that big blue ‘E’ on your desktop, the one you press to get “on the internet”? Ok, that is how you open your browser and it is called ‘Internet Explorer’. What I want you to do is press the button below. That will tell you all you need to know about why it is bad and what other browsers are available.
Now that you are back, my personal favorite is Firefox, but since I have a Mac, I also run Safari. I don’t use Opera, but I don’t have anything against it. So please, PLEASE, if you haven’t switched browsers yet, do it now. Right now. No, don’t click another link until you have gotten a new browser.
Ok, say you go to a website and it doesn’t work in your browser. COMPLAIN! There is no reason for it not to work except for laziness. Say you go to a friends MySpace page and it doesn’t show up right. COMPLAIN! Tell your friend to go to browsehappy.com, just like I had you do. There is no reason to let them remain in danger if you are their friend. Also, there are very few sites that are IE only anymore. So don’t give up on it just because of those one or two sites. Think about your safety.
Along the same lines, if you are still using Outlook Express for your email. For similar reasons, please check out Thunderbird.
cheers!
yeah. seriously. the big blue E is a huge downer. i personally use Safari the most. but Firefox is what my parents use on their PCs and I prefer that one too. after using those 2 frequently, IE is really annoying….. i’m living the geek life too. haha. miss you Leo!
