Looking over the stats on my sites, I have noticed that over 50% of the people that come here use Internet Explorer. I have installed the Spread Firefox plugin to pop up an alert bar when someone views this site with IE, and only IE. If you view the site with any other browser, the alert bar won’t show. I did this in an attempt to educate people how inferior IE is as a web browser and that there are other options out there that are safer to use. The link in the alert bar takes the person to a site where they can download Firefox but they can also download Opera, Flock, or Netscape as a web browser. Any of those are better choices than that damn blue e.

Thanks to a story on Digg.com I’ve downloaded and installed a new browser, Flock.  Flock has a built-in RSS reader, can post to a blog (which is what I’m doing right now on it), can share favorites via del.icio.us, and also works with Flickr.  It’s based on Firefox so it operates and looks pretty much the same way.  I’m going to try it out for a few days and see if I like it.  It’s a preview release so it’s gonna be buggy but that doesn’t bother me.  Now I have 6 web browsers to choose from to visit a site (Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Flock, and IE).
