If you ask me, what are the chances that I will browse in an Internet Explorer ever again. My answer is, rare, almost none. Unless of course, for that occasional Windows Updates (The Windows Update website won’t work on other browsers other than IE) for security patches, and patches, and more patches. Or, clicking that mail button in MSN Messenger which triggers the IE browser, or, checking if my CSS designs work in IE.
Since I’ve made that switch to Firefox a year ago, I’ve never looked back since. In fact, my Windows Desktop Cleaner Wizard even suggested me to remove rarely or unused shortcuts, such as this one.
A never been used Microsoft Internet Explorer shortcut. That’s just too bad. Gotta get rid of it now.
The reasons for the switch are straight and simple. What IE users would be suffering then, pop-ups, spywares, viruses, security issues, “the” switch had helped millions worldwide to end their nightmares. Firefox does best to fend off malicious warez and improve security strengths.
Following streams of tremendous conversions and support, Firefox’s effective marketing campaigns would become the first real threat to Microsoft web browser’s stronghold monopoly since they shipped IE free with their Windows 98 operating system back in 1998. The software giant then took rigorious measures to patch and improve their browser’s security, but in the process, revealing the ugly sides of their browsers, it seems.
Tons of great feedbacks can’t be wrong. Enough to prove that Firefox is worth every single byte on your hard disk. The thing is, everyone loves Firefox and its creative marketing campaigns. Users had the chance be involved in the effort to market the products they loved, and who better to speak and spread the satisfaction than the users themselves? Word of mouth is ultimately the best marketing tool.
Wait no more alright, make the switch to Firefox now! Don’t forget to check out their extensions page for more nifty functions. For those of you who fancy colorful themes, check out their themes page and get ready to change the skin of your fox as you wish.
If anyone has ideas on how to change the default browser in MSN Messenger, do let me know. I would appreciate that! In the mean time, Microsoft marketing geeks, come and convince me and see if you could get me to restore that Microsoft IE shortcut back on to the desktop again.
The adsense notifier is errmm…very soothing (’cos I can see the money kaching without login). I have downloaded quite a lot of extensions including the SEO thingamajig. Firefox is da best!
lilian: That’s a great extension for all adsense publishers out there. SEO thingamajig? Never heard of that. Did a search on firefox extension, not there. Mind if you share that? Sounds to me a great tool, too!
kehkehkeh, actually it is the extension where we can easily analyse the meta, keywords density, backlinks, html validator etc. Very easy to be copy-paster. That’s what I am doing for my parenting blog btw, more to provide info for my forum members, not to earn adsense.
It is called RankQuest. Got it from Firefox extension.
lilian: RankQuest I see. Now I got it :P. Gonna need help from your parenting blog sometime in the future hehe. Great blogs you have there!

You download Mess Patch at mess.be and inside that patch, there’s an option for you to tick - “Open all links in default browser”. Once you tick it, and all links will be opened in your FireFox. (Assuming you have set your FireFox as your default browser.)
If you can’t find it, email me. I can send you the file.
You can tweak alot of MSN options with the patch too.
Jason: I’ve been to that site before but didn’t know there’s such patch. Thanks for the tip!
