get firefox

Download Day 2008

firefox was already about a dillion times better than internet explorer, and now version 3 is out, so if you haven’t made the switch yet, do it right the fuck now.

then make it even better with add-ons: the ad-blocker (not just pop-ups, all ads, its revolutionary), forecast fox (unobtrusive weather bar), piclens (futuristic picture viewing like minority report), and more.

edit: huzzah!

a nice bar graph would do wonders here, but let’s not get carried away.
