Explorer Destroyer
It’s been a long while since I preached to everyone about switching over to Firefox from Internet Explorer. It was such a hot topic with me at the time, that I even preached about it a second time.
Well, it’s time for me to talk about it again, because I just installed a nifty little script called Explorer Destroyer. It’s a way to funnel IE-users to Firefox, and it works. According to the guys at ExplorerDestroyer.com, this is the nuts and bolts of it:
Script autodetects IE Displays switch splash screen to IE users Switches people to Firefox Three levels of seriousness Google gives you referral money for switches Infuriates Microsoft
If you’re still using IE, then you’re going to get a pretty little message. If you don’t use IE, good for you, here’s a screenshot of what the message looks like... or better yet, go see the site on someone’s computer that still uses IE.
So have you switched yet?

About Me
My name is Seth Gunderson and I currently live in Kansas City, MO. I work as an art director at Sullivan Higdon & Sink (it should be noted that Sullivan Higdon & Sink neither seeks, nor exercises, any editorial control over this site) and spend my spare time practicing sarcasm, watching too much television and seeing truly awful movies.
Want more Seth? Fine, weirdo:
