The site is pretty funny, but funnier still is the link The Firefox Cult up at the top edge.

Funny because of its own religious zeal? Here's a quote from that site...

Seriously how sad is it that a program needs a web page like this:

www.spreadfirefox.com
"Welcome to Spread Firefox. You are our marketing department, a diverse community of people tired of swatting popups, chasing spyware, combating identity theft and installing security updates you could set your watch to. You have a vision of the 21st century web and are ready to push it to the world, wresting control from a monopoly that has let it stagnate. We'll provide the tools, but you will drive campaigns that will be rolled out here over the coming months."


You can see clearly here this site is less about recommending a better browser and more about a crusade against Microsoft. But to have your crusade you must have a Religion and of course followers. To recruit followers you need beliefs.

OK... I've read and re-read that quote from spreadfirefox.com and I just can't seem to find the word "Microsoft" anywhere. Perhaps only the faithful can see it!
