Get Rid of Internet Explorer - Browse Happy!

Posted by timothy on from the familiarity-breeds-contempt dept.

Matt writes "BrowseHappy not only tells us why IE is unsafe, but also provides "switcher" stories of people that stopped using IE and switched to a safer browser. This campaign is not so much against IE, but for the use of safer and more user-friendly browsers."

    They would have done this and avoided the slashdotting altogether! :)

    In my experience, anytime I do a spyware removal ($30-$60) I offer to install Mozilla for free. I explain that if they mostly use Mozilla, they will need my services less frequently

    If you taught them how to run spybot s&d and adaware for themselves as well, they would certainly need your services less frequently.

    Not to sound snarky, but capitalizing off of this situation brings to mind protection rackets and the like. Well I guess that makes sense if you were also installing spyware when you are "removing" it. ;)
