So I have a confession to make… this website has Internet Explorer problems.

For a long time all I used to browse the internet was IE (Internet Explorer) because I thought that was all there was. But when I discovered FF (Firefox), maybe 3 years ago, I made the switch and never looked back.

But as good web developers, designers should keep both browsers in mind when creating online content. Today I’ll be fixing the incompatibility issues, but I thought I’d give you glimpse of the difference between browsers.

Exhibit A: viewing Internet Explorer at 1280 pixels wide

Exhibit B: viewing Firefox at 1280 pixels wide

Exhibit C: viewing Internet Explorer at 1024 pixels wide

Exhibit D: viewing Firefox at 1024 pixels wide

Every once in a while I’ll be visiting a friend’s house or at the library and I’ll have to use IE there. Every time that I do I cringe inwardly and wonder how they can stand it. Here are just a few of the reasons to prefer FF over IE:

• More secure
• Open source
• Plethora of plugins
• Better tab management
• Uses fewer computer resources
• It’s faster (in my case, my computer runs so slow that the difference is very noticeable)

31% of internet users have seen the light and use FF, 59% remain in darkness and use IE. If you haven’t made the switch to Firefox, then I would strongly encourage you to do so. Click the button on the right to download the latest version.

I’m in a rush right now, but just to let you know… we made it.

Alex and I were notified that our film is one of the 3 finalists for the HigherOne film contest. For more details and to watch the 3 finalists see here.

I’ll get back later with more details. But if you want to help us out for now, then watch our film, rank us, leave us a comment, and then tell your friends!
