IEholics Anonymous —
Hi, My name's Andy and I'm a recovering InternetExplororholic. But I've been free of the burden of Microsoft now for close to a month. Yup… I haven't opened IE expept for when absolutly neccessary for nearly 30 days. In fact, the only time I've used it is to check that sites are cross browser compatible (afterall, you can't stop supporting a browser used by the majority of people on the planet can you?).
The only problem is, I've been using FireFox as a subsitute rather than going cold turkey and I think I'm even more addicted to that than I was to IE! It has so many lovely features! Tabbed browsing (a brilliant invention that you don't realise you need until you try it!), Extensions (FireFTP, Ad Blocking, Developer Toolbar, Easy BBCode and so many many more!), Themes and much better security than IE!
I've heard the guys at MS are worried about the impact and rightfully so, Firefox is a godsend it's cheaper (to upgrade IE in the future you'll have to buy a whole new version of windows!). Firefox is on the streets and the kids are getting hooked, Microsoft are going to have to pull some serious magic out of their hats if they're going to stop their browser share dissapearing!
Download FireFox today and be free of the MS curse forever!
