Spread Firefox!

So you are still using IE, eh? Do you know that IE is a major security issues? With all those spywares and viruses around looming the Internet, isn’t that now is the right time to dump IE and use another browser that are more secure?

I am using Mac, so yeah Safari naturally is my choice but in case you are using other operating system (even if you are using Mac and want alternative cool browser, like me) I strongly recommend you using Firefox.

SpreadFirefox is a website that promote Firefox, since Firefox is a free, open source browser without any big company to support them. It has a program to advertise Firefox in NYTimes for one full page size ads! You can participate too! It already has around 8000 peoples signing in and it still growing fast!

So yeah, time to ditch IE and browse safely. Safe browsing, everyone!

to putra, yes.. firefox needs a lot of ‘hack’ to make our css design well-formed on visual. it’s really a kick in the ass…

but if you figure it out, it’s because we’re using IE as our ‘preview’ browser. IE = Internet Excuser. It’s excuse your ‘forgetful’ of putting margin-left:auto and margin-right:auto to centering you layout, and satisfy you only with this text-align:center - which is, what is you gonna aligning? text? or box?

it’s excuse your ‘why should i do that’ by automatically put your sidebar on float without define how far is it from left or right or top or bottom.

yes IE is Internet Easy, it’s look easy… but the good things never came from the easy one.

try Firefox, you’ll get more diciplines on coding your css. if you think, this can’t work… just wait n see my new layout. what looks fine on FF, will looks fine on IE (except i found a bug on IE about doubling the pixel). and it’s look fine on opera too. hopefully on other browser too.

satu lagi, tabnya FF itu menyenangkan kalo dipake browsing Friendster… hehehe :D

Alo mas boy. Yep.. IE sucks. I like Firefox too. I use it only in school’s compie lab tho. But somehow I’m still using IE in my laptop. hehehehe… I’m just too lazy to download Firefox. [Yeaaah… typing the address, click download, click save, and clicking all of the buttons you need to click is a lot of work..]. :P. But yeah, I need to do that soon.
