Firebird now equals Firefox
What browser do you use? About 95% will say Microsoft Internet Explorer. If you’ve ever developed web pages you cannot ignore this massive percentage. However, IE is a piece of crap when it comes to standards. For instance, I love CSS but sometimes getting things to work with IE usually involves a lot of cussing and pulling my hair out.
Another percentage you cannot ignore is the 5% that use other browsers like Safari, Netscape, Opera and Mozilla just to name a few. That brings me to my next little gem…Firebird now known as Firefox. It’s just really the browser piece of the Mozilla suite. It ranks up there with Opera as far as following the standards and has many of the other cool features built in already like a pop-up blocker. You can have themes and also various helper extensions. If you can’t find something, you can even make your own. Try doing that with IE!! There’s my plug for Firebird, errr Firefox, now happy surfing.
