Firefox blocked

Posted on August 24, 2007 | Comments Off on Firefox blocked

Clicking on the "I Stand With Israel" banner in the upper left-hand corner of our main page, using the Firefox browser, now only gets a blocked page explanation, instead of Jack Lewis’s banner page, which you can still get using Explorer or some other browser such as Opera. It seems he’s only warring against Firefox, because some users have installed Ad Blocker, which his block page suggests how to defeat. But his pique is not unique. I had already noticed that blogger won’t allow me to comment at a blog using the most popular version of their comment-verification software if I arrive with Firefox. Explorer is not a problem. I’m used to Firefox, after many moons of use, but this campaign against it may force me to use Explorer as my default browser again. Opera is too clumsy for my taste.

    In other news, when I’m watching TV and find the ads annoying, I change the channel, or get up and go get a sandwich. Quick, call the cops!
    He should change his banner to “I stand with Israel, but only if I can make a buck off it”.
    Knife, meet nose. Sheesh.

    The only part of his pique that I agree with is that it’s the ads that keep the Internet free. This doesn’t seem to be about blocking pop-ups, which even Explorer does. For that matter, some versions of Firefox (at least mine) don’t block ads at all.
