It seems everyone’s getting in on the act now. Remember when Netscape died? I don’t know how Opera survived, but it’s my wife’s browser of choice. I’m on Firefox, and my parents use Chrome! And don’t forget Safari. Everyone has IE, but we’re almost free of it! Whee!

More "How I Did It" stories

How I did it: I had been using IE for a LONG time and hadn't really even considered using a different browser. Then one of its own updates caused it to crash for just over a week and it was at that point when I lost all faith in it and turned to firefox. I now use Safari (the apple browser) which is really incredibly simple and much nicer to look at too. Read how I did it…
How I did it: My Mom is not net savvy, but she installed and uses Firefox on her own... and I know two other grandmas that can barely point and click who have done the same thing.IE is done. Read how I did it…

I didn’t realize other people had this same affliction of IE and subsequent revelation of the amazingness of Firefox!!!
ih8pees is writing his vows (giggle)
is this a goal, or just praying for rain? i guess spreading firefox could help this, which i have done a lot (worked for a pc repair company, and installed firefox on every pc i came across and set it to default), so i guess i have done my part and now just have to wait for more security exploits to be discovered in IE7, or just convince Micro$oft to include Firefox in Windows 7, the new os coming out since vista bombed as expected, phew, well, its time for the dominoes to fall, so i will shoot an email to Micro$oft
I just don’t really care that much about this anymore. IE7 is not as evil as previous versions, and Firefox has a decent enough market share that most people know they have options now. So, if you still want to use IE, that’s your call.
I really wish to witness the end on IE, it would make my life easier. I convert designs to css, so I fire up IE 6/7 daily just to ensure compatibility.
