Friedbeef’s Tech

130 MILLION Downloads can’t be wrong.

Firefox (Released for free by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation) is the safer, faster, and better alternative web browser to Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Ever since it’s release, it has been receiving rave reviews by taking the web experience to new heights, and today we’re going to take a closer look at it.

getfirefox.com already has simple beautiful explanations of what the Firefox browser can do for you, so I will be focusing on certain simple aspects of Firefox.

Inspired by the 5-minute Firefox Challenge, this post:

1. is going to concentrate on what you can do with Firefox with ONE click.
2. will provide a printable A4 sized flyer if you want to share how easy to use Firefox is with your friends.

So here it is…

I know it’s a bit hard to read due to image display limitations on this blog, but it’s basically saying that you only need :

• ONE CLICK to navigate the web faster using tabs
• ONE CLICK to access multiple search engines (Smart Search)
• ONE CLICK to instantly read your latest news (Livebookmarks)
• ONE CLICK to access your bookmarks from a toolbar

The text at the bottom of the flyer are a snippets of reviews of Firefox to lend credibility to the claim of Firefox’s great web experience.

As mentioned earlier in the post, what is highlighted here is just the simplest of functions. Firefox does much more than this, which is one of the great things about it - that it caters for both the novices and the power users with ease.

If you need more convincing about Firefox, see what others have to say:

• PCWorld Magazine voted it as the Best Product of the Year for 2005
• Cnet Editors rated it “Excellent” and gave it an Editor’s Choice Award

If you think IT publications are too techy and cannot be trusted:

• Wall Street Journal’s Walt Mossberg said “Security, Cool Features of Firefox Web Browser Beat Microsoft’s IE”
• Forbes Magazine rated it as their favourite web browser in their best of the web section.

If you think business publications have all “sold-out” and cannot be trusted:

• Countless other personal testimonials can be found here

If you think people genrally cannot be trusted:

• This is a live counter of the number of Firefox downloads

(If this counter goes down, there are 131 Million and rising downloads as of the writing of this post)

If you think all this is baloney:

… at least try the Opera web browser before going back to Internet Explorer :)
