Randomn3ss readers prefer Firefox!
For more then two years now I have been using and enjoying on a daily basis. I made the switch not by choice, but because my job makes everyone use it. Fine, whatever. A month into really using it, I started to enjoy it a lot more, the tabs (tabs didn’t show up in Internet Explorer until v7), the ability to use add-ons and the ability to customize everything about it are the main reason. I’ve mentioned before some of the add-ons I use on a near daily basis now, these things are still not available for IE.
Polling through the stats for Randomn3ss, I was shocked to see that the majority of people who view this site are also Firefox users! 46.27% to be exact, as seen in the pie chart. My goal would be that everyone at least gives it a shot; it really is a much better browser. Hopefully we can swing that number up closer to 65-75%!
