Internet Explorer User? Dump It For FireFox Or Opera Browsers

If you're reading this and are an Internet Explorer user, please immediately click on this link, where you will be taken to the FireFox website. Download FireFox and use it instead of Internet Explorer.

Or to get the Opera Browser, here.

Why?

Because if you use Internet Explorer, chances are it's an older version and not Internet Explorer 8, which still has some problems with "rich media" applications. A "rich media" application is this blog, for example, that has a video player installed to show YouTube videos. Chances are that player's barely loading or not at all.

Moreover, YouTube stopped playing nice - supporting - older versions of Internet Explorer, specifically Internet Explorer 6, last year. You can download the Adobe Flash player and hope it works, but just use FireFox or Opera for that matter.

So, if you're having trouble seeing YouTube videos, it's not YouTube, it's your browser. Stop using Internet Explorer.

In fact, there's been a quiet war against Internet Explorer in much of the Tech Community, and that's the problem: the war's both quiet and confined to the Tech Community, when it needs to be loud and outside of it.

If you're computer's over three years old, and you're using the same version of Internet Explorer on it, time to switch.  You're missing a lot of good stuff on the Internet.
