Take back the web
I've started a small revolution among my friends and family. I'm on a mission to take back the web. If they own a computer and they don't have Firefox installed, it will be soon. I'm recommending it to everyone, b/c people often ask me for advice for their computer's problems. Here's how our conversation usually goes:
Them: I'm having an issue with viruses, spyware, AOL, etc.
Me: You should use Firefox.
Them: Oh really, what's that?
Me: An internet browser. It's a lot better than Internet Explorer.
Them: OK, how much does it cost?
Me: It's free, download it from firefox.com.
Them: Cool, thanks for the tip.
This happens if their computer isn't nearby. If it is, I'll download and install it for them. I did this on Holly's machine last night. After showing her the tabbed browsing and she was pumped. Of course, hooking her up to a wireless network for the first time probably had something to do with her enthusiasm.
Even if IE adds tabbed browsing, I don't think there's any hope for it now. The web feel so much more solid when using Firefox. When I use IE, it feels brittle and ready to break. Have you started taking back the web with your family and friends?
