Firefox and the Evolution Of The Interweb

I was in my English class today, and we went to the computer lab to do a research project or something. Anyway, everyone needed to get on the computer to look up something on the interweb. I was astonished to the program that everyone selected to use. It was Internet Explorer 7. I was the only person in the entire class of 25 kids that had chosen Firefox. I wanted to stand up and punch everyone very hard right in between the eyes. But I didn't, I sat back and did the rest of my project.

This event sparked a thought in my mind. Do people not know how much better this holy internet browser is compared to all the others?

Firefox 2.0 is the pinnacle of human existence. Sometimes people ask me why I know so much about computers. I tell them Google, but the real reason I love knowing more about computers and am intrigued to know more, is because ofcompanies and designers like Mozilla. They stepped up against the atrocity that is Internet Explorer. I get so pissed off when websites FORCE me to use IE instead of Firefox. Sometimes when I find something I really like, such as a video or a game I want to play online, and it tells me I need be using IE instead of my current browser, I click the "Contact us" Button at the bottom of their page, and send them an email of how fucking retarded they are. You think I am kidding, but I am NOT.

You are probably wondering, "But what makes Firefox so good? Isn't a browser a browser?". That is completely wrong and stupid. Here is a list of reasons why Firefox owns your face:

1. Tabbed Browsing

   You can be looking at a page and decide that the page that you are on is going to take a little bit to load. All you have to do is Middle-Click on a link or bookmark and open a new tab that you can go back and forth from your page that is loading while you check your Facebook or something. This allows extremely fast and efficient multi-tasking while browsing the internet. IE may have this, but the idea was taken from Firefox.

2. Portable Bookmarks

   Have you ever been on a computer at school and wanted to show someone that cool link you found last night, well you can get all your bookmarks from home at any computer with Foxmarks. It may sound dumb, but it is incredibly useful. Especially if you browse the internet a lot.

3. Way Faster

   Firefox is way faster than IE. That means you can load and upload your pictures on Facebook faster. :P

4. Addons
   

   There are hundreds of addons that you can use to implement into your browser to help you with things such as watching videos, knowing the weather, or listening to music.

5. Dictionary

   There is an automatic dictionary that you can download to use if you are a really bad speller/typist. How do you think I wrote this article with minimal errors?

6. No Or Minimal Pop-Ups

   Have you ever been annoyed/scared of the ads on webpages that are just pictures that tell you to go to this website and win a free Xbox 360 or something? Not anymore. With ADP (Ad-Block Plus) you will not have anymore ads again. EVER. Try going to this site and see if your browser does that. http://serials.ws

7. Themes

   Find a theme or color scheme that fits your personality or hobbies and use it. Simple as that.

Take that, Microsoft.

A friend of mine later added:

IE7 now resembles firefox, but it will never match the outstanding capabilities of the open source master piece built by the most brillliant that the Internet has to offer.

I do like opera, but it isn't supported much.

But enough, the following statement sums up the entire argument, suck it Microsoft, you have been beat this time.

Bill Gates will never match up to the internet population of genius, which is an unlimited number of future bill gates. Bill Gates is the gate keeper to a new world of brilliant.

But it could be worse, we could be stuck with Safari....

(AAAAHHHHH Apple! AAHH)
