PSA: Update Your Browser


For the love of all things internet, UPDATE YOUR BROWSER.


"Firefox 3.6 is where it's at."  

NO.  NO IT IS NOT.


"Why doesn't your software support my browser?"  

BECAUSE YOUR BROWSER IS EXTINCT.




Also, using an outdated browser means you sacrifice internet security.  Updates to browsers usually update things that enhance the browser's security as well probably.  Firefox is a cool browser.  Sometimes Firefox 1.0 gets updated and you have Firefox 2.0.  Then Firefox 3.0, 4.0, etc.  Each shiny new version is better than the last in many ways.  It works exactly like this:













Fences protect you from bears.  Bears smash down fences.  You need a new fence.  Bears get more malicious.  You need an even better fence.  The cycle continues.


"But I have a cool add-on that I want to keep using and it hasn't been updated it since 2003 so it isn't compatible with newer browser versions!"  

NO.  IT'S NOT WORTH IT.  IT'S TIME TO LET GO.
