ExplorerDestroyer
IT Chapters 1 Comment »I came across this site today: ExplorerDestroyer. This site provides a script that you can add to your homepage that can display varying degrees of warnings if the visitor is using Internet Explorer.
Level 1 shows a header on your website asking the user to switch to Firefox, Level 2 shows a full screen warning and a button to click through to your home page. Level 3 is the most locked down version and it won’t allow IE visitors to browse your site at all.
I use Firefox on a daily basis but this sort of behaviour bothers me. What would the Firefox community and all the “zealots” out there say if Microsoft did the same and created a FirefoxDestroyer site and accompanying script. Microsoft would be laid into about their business practices and how unfair that sort of behaviour is. They would probably fall foul of their anti-competition rulings.
I don’t believe you can stand on one side of the fence and shout your beliefs without looking at your own practices. Remember the saying: “Practice what you Preach!”
