Title: Boycott IE
Post by: preacher on 26 July 2002, 00:30
Well at least part of my site is boycotting Internet Explorer. From now on Bobland is IE free.

http://stayoffmyland.cjb.net (http://stayoffmyland.cjb.net)

if you have IE and you try to view this page you will be redirected here http://www.msboycott.com/ierror/ (http://www.msboycott.com/ierror/)

If you want to help boycott IE, just go here to learn more http://www.msboycott.com/ierror/about.shtml (http://www.msboycott.com/ierror/about.shtml)

use bobhub.tk or bobs.tk instead of bobhub.cjb.net in your link at StayoffMyLand.cjb.net.
It doesnt have any ads!

this is very good indeed! if i wasn't trying to promote my music on my site, and get a job and so on, i'd use that. If i ever start a fan site, you can bet it will block IE for sure.

I have one minor quibble, you have links for IEradicator which is often more unstable than just leaving IE on your machine and not using it, and you also link to Opera, which is not free, and iCab, which might be secure (for all i know) but isn't too stable from my experience (on a mac this is, lots of # 2 and 3 errors), however you do not link to mozilla, which releases regualr stable versions, is free, and has lots of neato features! (or is this redirect page none of your doing and i'm complaining into the wind?)

Top idea.

I didnt create the boycott IE page, im just a supporter of it. So I cant do anything about the links. By the way I updated the page to link to bobhub.tk.

well, i decided to use their thing, but i changed it to include mozilla, and to express my personal comments about opera and ieradicator as well.
You can see the results of my "defacing" at www.nelie.org/polytheism/ierror.html (http://www.nelie.org/polytheism/ierror.html) or just go to www.nelie.org/polytheism (http://www.nelie.org/polytheism) with iexplore!

If you have opera set to identify as internet explorer you wont be able to visit it.

I just started using opera,its much better than IE,except on some secure sites I cant use it,like when I tried to use my online banking at Natwest.
