You guys may have noticed the new button I’ve added to my site (right). But I also wanted to take a minute to encourage you all not only to look at the button, but to click it. And then download the Firefox browser! If you need reasons, here they are:

• Tabbed Browsing – If you haven’t browsed the web this way, you’re missing out. When I sign on in the afternoon to see what all my blogging buddies are up to, I go to my bookmarks folder, select “Open In Tabs” and Firefox loads them all up for me. It’s AWESOME!
• Uber-fast Download – This baby literally took seconds to download and setup. It automatically imported my home page, favorites, and preferences from IE. There is no learning curve here.
• Ad Block – Pop up ads are the bane of the internet and Firefox manages to completely eliminate them.
• Speed – Before Firefox, I was of the mind that once I was on a broadband connection there was really no further way to speed up my web browsing. Boy, was I wrong. Windows SP2 had IE down to a snail’s pace (some BS “security” crap, I’m sure) but with Firefox, I’m zooming from one site to the next in record time.

There are at least a dozen other reasons, but you guys get the point. Follow the link. Read it all for yourself. And download it. Set it as your default browser and let IE go to that big Recycle Bin in the sky.

And before you ask — No, I’m not on their payroll. Firefox is a community-built application. There is no payroll. How cool is that?
