Wow do you guys suck
So I was surfing the tubes today and came to a site that forwarded me to this stupid website. First I was pissed because I wasn’t able to immediately access the site I wanted, then I was even more pissed by the amazing load of B.S. on the site. “FireFox users a somewhat small percentage of the internet” they say? Well, this and this at the very least Firefox users are 10% of the web surfing community. 10% of a community is not a “somewhat small percentage” in business terms. If you go by the w3schools estimate we are talking 1/3 of the community (of geeks that visit w3schools granted).
Personally, I think the acceptance of ad blocking signifies a failed business model on the part of website designers, not an evil badness on the part of users. Nobody was clicking your damn links anyway.

I dunno. I think 10% is a very small percentage. For example, if some n00B came up to me and offered to give me 10% of a tube steak”, I would most definitely turn it down. I don’t see how 10% can be anywhere near as satisfying

You know what is funny; I’m certain that they are depending on the browser to respond with the correct user agent string to identify it as Firefox, so my trick to “hack” their web page (as I’m sure they’d consider it, bloody idiots) would be to use the Firefox User Agent Switcher extension. Simply fix.
Sadly though, as you did not post the link, I cannot test it. It would be very funny to see it work. Fools! They cannot hold me down!

I cast lightingbolt at their webserver. See how well the website runs after that.
