Why Mozilla Needs To Go Into Survival Mode 464
Crazzaper writes "I have been using Firefox for many years, and the war of the browsers has been around for longer than that. It just so happens that now we have a lot of options out there: IE, FF, Chrome, Opera, Safari, and others. People are always talking about how one browser is going to take down another, but maybe that's not the issue at all. It seems very possible that one browser, like Firefox, can be taken down by multiple browsers at once, whether or not there was any intention to compete specifically with Firefox. I hadn't seen it this way, but I do now."

They are actually working on a mind controlled version of Firefox. Unfortunately it only works if you think in Russian.

I been using my computer to view porn since the days of 4000 colors. That's all I want. I don't need those other ____ty features mucking it up. As long as my browser can resolve GIFs, JPGs, and videos that's all's I want.

I click on the ads that have hot chicks in tight geek-themed t-shirts.

I've spent the last year building a statistical computation software that's entirely web-based, and entirely written in javascript.

Some people believe that in order to grow closer to their spiritual nature they must torture their physical form to the utmost.

Sure. I have nothing better to do than maintaining my hosts file to block every single domain that serves ads. And you should see my mom hacking away with her computer's hosts file.
I don't even know why people use silly tools like browsers. I telnet to every site and write all the HTTP requests by hand, header by header. I don't get any ads this way because I don't type the requests to download the ads. See? Easy!
