Spread Firefox!

Just think about it.
Way back when, you had to pay for your copy of Netscape, unless you met certain restrictions.
Without Netscape, you didn’t surf the net. True, there were other browsers out there, but Netscape was the standard by which all others were judged.
Then, Microsoft took one of the “others,” Mosaic, and turned it into Internet Explorer.
Sheer massive numbers of machines with the Microsoft O/S spelled the end of Netscape as boss.


As time went by, IE’s 95% dominance in the browser market meant that it was a great time to be a hacker.
Fortunately, the FOSS (free open source software) community fought back. They gave us the browser that eventually became Firefox.
A recent check of traffic at my I Remember JFK blog (http://www.irememberjfk.com) shows that visitors (mainly an audience of forty- and fifty-somethings) are using Firefox, some 23.4%!
IE is down to 65%.
