Explorer Destroyer

Check out explorer destroyer, a nifty little tool that will help you, ehem, nudge your IE-using readers towards Firefox.  Recall that Google will give you US$ 1 for every user you’ve helped switch over to the light side of the force (a.k.a. Firefox).


You can choose among three levels of “encouragement”:


  • Gentle encouragement

  • Semi-serious

  • Dead-serious


I’m not too fond, though, of the not-so-subtle way of reminding IE

users that Firefox is the better alternative by not giving them access

at all, with “dead-serious.”  I’d rather write about the benefits

of Firefox than force people to use it with annoying

splash-screens.  An educated decision is always better than having

something forced down upon you.
