Firefox users and Yahoo frequenters, do you see anything different when mixing the two previously mentioned items? Look a little closer. If you’re using Firefox and navigating Yahoo, take a look at Microsoft’s Yahoo’s new suggestion: “Switch to the new, safer Internet Explorer 8″. Well, there’s a few problems with this suggestion. First, IE 8 is newer, but not brand spanking new. Second, safer is debatable. And third, IE 8 while one of the more recent browsers to be released, is by far the slowest POS currently available that doesn’t come anywhere close to properly following web standards. Does Microsoft’s new deal with Yahoo have anything to do with this? Some individuals are saying this is nothing new and that it has been going on since before the deal. Though remember, just because the deal was recently closed doesn’t mean they haven’t been in talks for months.
My my how times change. Why just one short year ago, the tune Yahoo was singing was a complete 180 of what they’re humming now — advising users to switch to the newer, safer Firefox. Humorous? Yes. Should you follow Yahoo’s advice? Hell no. Have a good laugh, fire up Firefox and head on over to Yahoo.
