I finally switched to Firefox
I generally chose the technology product that is considered the "standard." I use a PC. I run Windows. I (used to) run IE. The main reason that I steer clear of "alternative" technologies like OS X or Linux is because their advocates are usually so damn annoying that I don't want to be lumped in with them. With that said, I still decided to switch from IE to Firefox this morning.
I have been writing a lot of CSS stuff at work lately and found myself checking my code in Firefox (since it is a standard-compliant browser) which I had installed solely for testing purposes. However, the more I used it, the more I really liked it.
In addition to the improved security that has been touted in the press, I really like tabbed browsing and the ability to easily integrate RSS feeds.
I am going to resist being one of those annoying zealots and simply say that Firefox is available for download here.
