Last night at Toastmasters I delivered a technical presentation on the merits of the fabulous open source browser Firefox (click on the image to go get it if you’re not using it already!). I was disappointed to discover only one other member was already using it, with the majority sticking with IE.
After getting a list of the perceived good and bad things about IE from my audience, I went through each item on the list and explained how Firefox did it better. I then gave a demonstration of Firefox (hampered slightly by Windows crashing when I opened the laptop; if only I’d had my Mac!), pointing out the tabbed browsing and built in search features.
I finished with a 5 minute Q&A period. I heard some very intelligent questions, which I hopefully answered equally intelligently.
I think a few of my fellow members will be trying out Firefox. Hopefully they won’t look back.
For a good list of the benefits of Firefox, go here.
