PCWorld Dubs Firefox Best Product of 2005 303
Peaceful_Patriot writes "PCWorld's list of the 'Best Products of 2005'
is out and Firefox
tops the list. Also notables are GMail
at number 2, Apple OS X, Tiger
at number 3, Skype
ranks in at 8 and Ubuntu
at 26!" From their Firefox article: "Are you sick and tired of Internet Explorer? Have you grown weary of the constant vulnerabilities and patches? Do you scratch your head at sudden program lockups and crashes? Are you dismayed that Microsoft hasn't lifted a finger to improve or enhance IE since it buried Netscape's Navigator browser at the dawn of the century? Yeah, me too."

Why can't a browser give feedback? (Score:2, Funny)
So why not put some buttons in the browser that simply load a URL like http://somesite.com/YourSiteSucks [somesite.com] or http://somesite.com/IHateCookiesStopRequiring [somesite.com] or other words "GreatResource", "GreatSite", "TooManyAds", "PopupsSuck".
It would request the URL but not bother to show the "Page Not Found" error so you can go about your business.
Then the webmaster will find those words in his logs and see them in his stat reports. If this gets popular, companies will find this a good source of feedback on their website.
No one can patent this idea, I just posted it publicly on slashdot!
The list seems rather arbitrary (Score:4, Funny)
