Firefox Seeks Full Page Ad in New York Times

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-thats-something-i-guess dept.

blakeross writes "Join us over at Spread Firefox as we raise funds for the most ambitious launch campaign in open source history. A portion of each donation will go towards taking out a full-page ad in the New York Times celebrating the release. All donors will be listed in the ad, the signatories of a declaration of independence from a monopolized and stagnant web."

    will all the open source fanboys start running from Firefox because it is to "mainstream"?

    I use firefox. i LIKE firefox... but i've simply had enough of the sensationalist bullshit that seems to persist on the spread firefox site. it seems full of over-excited teenagers who think that firefox IS the world. No, it really isn't.

    'A declaration of independence from a stagnant web' STAGNANT WEB? No, ALIVE web, STAGNANT browsers because noone really wants to adopt endless new stnadards which can't be embraced for 5 years anyway.

    It just drives me nuts... and all this ego shit doesn't do ANY good for the OS community, it just makes it look stupid and shallow. Firefox is not god like.. its very good, but this spread firefox thing just comes across like a jovial camp guy at a funeral. Shut up won't you?

    Why not release a stable moz browser, as opposed to a "standards-compliant" browser? See /. posting below.
