What boycott?

[jsbowden]

I refuse to engage in this silliness of the 'boycott' over how LJ handles new non-paying customers, so posting I am. I haven't upped my account to plus because I don't really care about the extra functionality, but if the folks at LJ don't want to give new free accounts my minimal level of access, that's their decision. It's their site, their bandwidth, servers, and bills.

So, Apple Software Update asked me if I wanted to install something this morning, and I assumed it was a Quicktime or iTunes update because I wasn't paying much attention. Turns out, it was Safari. Um, Steve, why? What's the point of porting Safari to Windows? Seriously?

Whu? When did Firefox become a cult browser? Sheesh.. now I belong to the cults of vi, Firefox, and I-don't-know-what-else by sheer effect of liking them, and I hate it when cults form around things I like without me noticing it, damnit all.

Oh, the usual time. As soon as people started thinking of the reasons why it's the best browser after deciding that it was, rather than vice versa. (Can't actually put a date on it, since it's evidently long enough ago to be outside my precise-memory time horizon.)

Why I like it: I can easy block Flash and pop-ups with Firefox. That's...pretty much it, actually. Simple interface too, but meh.
