Guerrilla Firefox Push

I just added a script to this site that might piss a few of you off — if you use Internet Explorer, you’ll see a page asking you to switch to Firefox.

You can still view this site with IE — I would never block access to this site based on your browser choice. But when you use IE, you’re not seeing the site the way it’s supposed to be seen, and you’re vulnerable to pop-ups, spyware, and so on.

And yes, for every IE user who switches to Firefox, I’ll earn a dollar from Google. So everybody wins — I love Firefox, I get to support an Open Source initiative I believe in, you get a better browsing experience, and I get a buck.

Those of you who don’t use IE — you won’t see anything different!

Update: I’ve changed the anti-IE script from a full-page blast to a banner at the top of the page. Reason? Darn thing pops up on every page, not just the home page. That’s too much.

You should still ditch IE!
