This fucking pisses me off

I went to download a huuugely popular application today from what I thought were respected developers. It would appear I was wrong:

This fucking annoys me. I don’t want to use firefox. I’m quite happy with IE. And honestly, what kind of self respecting developer decides to only make a website compatible for what is, quite frankly, the minority of users on the internet? Secondly, the page rendered perfectly, there was nothing wrong with it. Thirdly, why is it that every time that page loads, it wants to download a different ActiveX control? Is this some kind of a joke?

Seriously you people, get your fucking heads screwed on straight. You’re not cool.

Not only that, but look at their reasons for moving to FF:

- It blocks popups. Umm, so does IE. Old news people.
- It’s more secure. Possibly, for dumb stupid users, but for people who know what they’re doing ont he net it’s no better
- It keeps microsoft from controlling the future. How fucking stupid are you?! Anyhow, Id rather have microsoft control the internet because at least they don’t attempt to guilt trip innocent visitors.
- It’s better for web designers. I DON’T CARE! I do plenty of web design and I make my sites look fine in both! The internet is not here to please designers. It’s here to please visitors. You don’t make your doorways small so that fat people can’t get through, just because it’s easier to make a small door than a large door, do you? No! You let everyone in! Do your fucking jobs right and it won’t be a problem.
- It has tabbed browsing. Oohh… and umm.. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?

  2. While I totally agree with the stupidity of stopping ANYONE visiting ANY site just because they’re not using a browser you like is insane, I think you’re anger is directed towards the wrong place.

    It’s awstats’ website that’s the problem, not Firefox, nor google (who are promoting firefox), nor sourceforge (who host the website).
