Yahoo Recommends Firefox Users To Switch To The “New, Safer IE8?
Not sure when this started occurring exactly, but Yahoo is apparently now letting Firefox users know that they’d be better off switching to the “new, safer Internet Explorer 8″ . Apart from this tweet sent out yesterday, we haven’t noticed anyone noticing, so we suspect it’s fresh and a direct result of the recent Yahoo and Microsoft love-fest . How ironic. About a year ago, following a failed acquisition attempt by Microsoft, Yahoo ran a very different recommendation from their front page , advising Internet Explorer users to switch to the “NEW safer, faster Firefox 3″ instead. Apparently, Yahoo recommends browsers based on what their latest business alliances are. Maybe they should just develop and market their own browser and rid the confusion?
