Good Result, Keep Up The Pressure
by Stating March 17, 2005 6:01 PM PST
Keep up the pressure on Yahoo and other providers to be browser agnostic. If they won't commit, switch to providers that will. Vote with your pocketbook. We need real competition in software. Monopolies benefit no one.

So Yahoo, how long before you get launch.com to work with Firefox?

You Go Yahoo

It's good to see companies trying to support what has become labeled as alternitive software. Consumers should have a choice and Companies should have an easy way to provide that choice. If software, like browsers, all supported standards it would put more focus on building better software and not on creating incompatable software.

I say good for Yahoo. I hope that other companies are able and willing to do the same.

Yahoo supporting standards, not Firefox
by aabcdefghij987654321 March 18, 2005 5:27 AM PST
Since Firefox is standards based, Yahoo is really supporting standards.

Sure there's some XUL in Firefox, but I don't believe that's what we're talking about here.

From the article:
Yahoo said on Friday afternoon that a statement from the company?s Australian office on Tuesday, which claimed that all future products would be compatible with both the Firefox and Internet Explorer (IE) browsers, was inaccurate.
