I’m interested in what browsers people are using, so please answer the question below. Its for a good cause.
Please download and install firefox, the mozilla based browser. Then hit Ctrl-T to open a new tab. There are a number of benefits to using firefox, not least the tabbed browsing functionality, but also increased security, and the easy access to a search engine of your choice in the top right hand corner.
A handy hint is click on Tools –> Extensions then click get extensions. There are a large number of extensions available which can make your life easier. Personally I would recommend getting adblock, which cuts down the amount of advertising you see on sites. To get rid of adverts, simply right click on them and select the appropriate option. You will never see ads like that again.
If you are a web developer, check out the Web Developer extension, which allows you to muck about with css and html as well as change the size of the browser window to simulate different resolutions.
This web site uses standard web language as intended by Tim Berners-Lee , the inventor of the world wide web.
Web language is important because using it means that all types of “standard compliant” Internet software can display web sites the same way and no single software company will ever control the language the web uses.
Unfortunately Internet Explorer by Microsoft is not able to read all of the standard web language because they have forced web designers to use their own software’s proprietary language over the last ten years by dominating the “browser” market.
We think it is important to help reverse that trend and have decided to use the standard web language so unfortunately you may experience a degraded viewing experience using Internet Explorer.
Internet software should not try to use proprietary “browser language”, we owe it to future generations to ensure that “web language” prevails. That’s why it’s important to use a “standards compliant” web browser like Firefox. So that large companies like Microsoft can never take over the language of the web.
I like to use Firefox but there are many other W3C compliant browsers you could use.”
