Explorer Destroyer – Switch to Firefox, Make money from Adsense Referral
seems a little overboard, but, i am all for their cause… especially because, as they point out, the stakes are high…
(i would like it better if there was also a choice for Opera, Safari, etc….)
a few quotes from the humorous site:
Get this tool for switching people from IE to Firefox. For each person you switch, Google gives you $1, Microsoft loses marketshare, and an angel gets its wings.
Three settings: Gentle, Semi-serious, and Dead-serious
When you install the script on your site, you can decide how much force you want to use to convince your users to switch away from the dark side:
Level 1: Gentle Encouragement Rating: $$
Visitors using IE see a message encouraging them to download Firefox (with a download link) running across the top of the page.
Level 2: Semi-serious Rating: $$$$
Visitors using IE get a friendly splash page encouraging them to download Firefox. There’s a download link, and a link to continue on to your site.
Level 3: Dead serious Rating: $$$$$$
You’ve never considered blocking IE users from viewing your site, even though you hate IE with a passion that burns hotter than Hades. Now you have a practical excuse to do what you’ve always dreamed of. IE users will see a friendly message stating that they need to download and install Firefox to view your site. This script will do the most good and make you the most money. Can you handle it? (At least try it for a day to see how good it feels.)
i dunno’…
maybe i’ll try the gentle encouragement…
i, like so many others, am not terribly fond of “this site best viewed by” logos and absolutely cannot stand sites that give me a page telling me to use a different browser…
on the other hand, i know my choices and make an informed decision and most people using internet explorer don’t even know there is a choice, so, this is more of an awareness campaign…
hmm…
