Firefox!

(Inspired by “Matt” of The Free Christian Blog. Credit for the idea of this post goes to him. The inspirational post can be found here.) Imwithgenius is officially declaring Firefox as it’s blogger! This blog was made while I was running Firefox, this blog will be designed with Firefox users in mind, if I have a choice of compatibility, I will choose the one that works better with Firefox. This blog will be continually written while in Firefox, and will continue to support it by referencing it whenever possible, and I will write reviews for Firefox Addons.

Why, might you ask, do I choose to support Firefox over other browsers, such as IE6/7/8, Opera, and Safari? Well, I would say, that is a good question. I am glad you asked.

1) It is FOSS. In case you do not know this term, it means “Free Open Source Software.” It is completely user-modifiable, and, for the technologically informed, is easily upgraded via source, to run faster. This means, if something goes wrong, I am not confined to one single source to get help. Also, anyone can modify it in any way, and it is completely legal, and they can share these mods online for anyone to use.

2) It is fast. It is significantly faster than IE, and, with some improvements, it can easily be as fast as Opera.

3) It is compatible. Firefox can run any popular browser add-on, such as Flash, Quick Time, ect. Also, with a certain add-on, you can view IE pages, making it compatible with any page (unfortunately, this add-on is not available for Linux).

4) It is custimizable. With Firefox, you can install add-ons, and themes, giving you the ultimate user experience. Also, if you are really geeky, you can design your own add-ons and themes, and make it run and look like whatever you want.

5) It is universal. Firefox will run on any operating system, OS X, Windows, and Linux.

6) It is safe. Firefox is widely known as the safest browser, and most stable browser. Compared to IE, which constantly crashes, and Safari, which was recently hacked, to gain control of a Mac, in a recent contest.

7) It likes you. It does what you want it to do, not the other way around. IE constantly tries to regain it’s position as my default browser, and when I want to do something slightly abnormal with it, it will not let me. Firefox is not like that, it follows orders very submissively. Yesterday, Itunes told me it needed to update. I said it could, and then it told me it wanted to install Safari as part of the upgrade. Uhhh…. NO. I did not upgrade. Even though it was easily disabled as part of the upgrade, items like that, if you ignore them, generally come back to haunt you.

In conclusion, I would like to inform you that I have imbedded a virus onto this post that infects anyone not running Firefox.

No, just kidding. This will be saved as a Page, so it will be widely known that FIREFOX RULES!!!
