I luv my firefox browser it's soooo much better than IE 7. It would be pretty irrational for a blogger to block such a popular and stable browser. Peace Out, ~T Thanks for the heads up on AdBlock.

(!?!?) Or... if I buy a newspaper and don't read the ads, I'm stealing the news stories... (!?!?!) Isn't it?

Since Firefox supports that option, he chooses to block it. I think it's silly too. Then again, Okiedoke doesn't have any advertising income.

He wants ads not to be blocked? Is he a business who can afford to turn away 1/2 of consumers? Cause my statcounters usually show that about 1/2 of my readers are Firefox users... Wow... that's confusing... I use Firefox… but I don’t really understand his reasoning… ?

I just needed to rant. It was just the reason why he was blocking Firefox... AdBlock. Not a design choice. Back in the day there were many browser specific sites out there. I imagine there still is. I use AdBlock. I really don't need to see the "shoot the monkey" ads. I’ve decided not to do anything. I just needed to rant. It was just the reason why he was blocking Firefox… AdBlock.
