Pushup: Automated Upgrade Links for Old Browsers
- deathbyzen 18y agoClever name :)
- wmeredith 18y agoThis is a nice little script. I added it to three of my sites.
- bprater 18y agoAnything to get folks off those old relics of browser, I'm game for.
- rw 18y agoThis could lead to phishing/Trojans. All one would have to do is use the script and point it towards a modified binary. Just the other day, someone I know searched Yahoo for "firefox" and ended up clicking on the seemingly-first result - an advertisement going to an arbitrary non-Mozilla site, offering a download link hosted on their domain. Hook line sinker.
- vaksel 18y agoThis is something that every website should have installed, the problem, is that the sites that'll actually have this installed are the same sites visited by people who have already upgraded to the latest version of firefox.
- invisible 18y agoAs much as I wish this were the end-all solution to getting people off of old browsers, I fear time may be the only true solution. The script is pretty neat though, worth the 10K add (or smaller compressed).
- vaksel 18y agoIf sites stopped coddling users with outdated software they would upgrade on their own right away.
- wmf 18y agoI guess I'm in the minority here, but it's not your job to maintain my computer. Stick to what you're good at.
