Or don&#8217;t."},"content":{"rendered":"<p>I&#39;m getting quite bored with something I&#39;m seeing more and more : Firefox proganda.<\/p>\n<p>On several websites, especially blogs, there is a small Firefox button, just as you can see here a button for planetOzh or WordPress. It&#39;s ok : on your own page, you&#39;re supposed to tell and show what you like. Be it Firefox button or an &quot;I love French Fries and Mayonnaise&quot; banner, it tells about you as much as a post about the last movie you&#39;ve seen.<\/p>\n<p>What gets boring is when the first thing I read on a page is a message like &quot;<em>Man, I can see you&#39;re using MSIE, Jeeeesus, that sucks big time, time to switch to Firefox dude !<\/em>&quot;. It&#39;s like when I read on a website that I should use a Macintosh. I mean, cool for them if they are happy with their so-called Unix in Windows XP For Teletubbies disguise, but if I really wanted to use a Macintosh, I wouldn&#39;t be precisely using a PC. Same thing for Firefox.<\/p>\n<p>In Windows, I&#39;m using MSIE, because I want so. I know Firefox, I&#39;ve extensively tested it and I&#39;m using it on Linux, I use it now and then to check how a page displays, but my primary browser is MSIE, and more precisely the excellent IE based MyIE2. Im my opinion, it&#39;s just ten times better. There are dozens of features in MyIE2 that I can&#39;t find in Firefox plugins (not even talking about how many are bugged as hell), security in MSIE is very good when you&#39;re smart enough to tweak it and not let it by default (never had a trojan), and more important to me, it doesn&#39;t take as long as 30 seconds to start, to eat 20 Mb of RAM and not to display pages faster than IE.<\/p>\n<p>Firefox users, you wouldn&#39;t like me to tell you that you should use MSIE because it&#39;s better than Firefox, would you ? So, stop telling me I should use Firefox. I&#39;m big enough. I&#39;m a free man. It&#39;s my choice :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quite bored with all the websites asking you to switch to Firefox.
