If you’ve ever coded a web page and tried it out in Firefox or another standards compliant browser, then opened the same page in IE only to find an entirely different looking page, you’ll appreciate this Wordpress plugin. It encourages readers to make the switch to Firefox and puts money in your pocket if they do.

The plugin makes use of Google’s Adsense referral program and requires that you setup an Adsense account (a simple process - just click the button below to get started).

Once you setup your Adsense account, just paste the Firefox referral code into the plugin file according to the installation instructions.

By using your choice of three different levels, you can control how aggressively you push the switch. Here are the descriptions from the Explorer Destroyer site:

Level 1: Gentle Encouragement Rating: $$
Visitors using IE see a message encouraging them to download Firefox (with a download link) running across the top of the page.
Level 1 Demo >> (the demo will pretend you are using IE)

Level 2: Semi-serious Rating: $$$$
Visitors using IE get a friendly splash page encouraging them to download Firefox. There’s a download link, and a link to continue on to your site.
Level 2 Demo >> (the demo will pretend you are using IE)

Update: Xavier sent us this modified version of level 2 that will only show the splash page occasionally. Download it here and see a live demo here.

Level 3: Dead serious
Level 3 will not allow people using IE past a splash page. This level is very useful for sites that are not IE6 compatible. And there’s never been a more important moment to switch people to Firefox. Can you handle it? (At least try it for a day to see how good it feels.) Unfortunately, level 3 is a little too intense for the Adsense policies, so for this level you’ll have to use a regular, non-Adsense link to download Firefox.

I’m still contemplating whether or not to use the plugin on this site. I’m a big Firefox fan, and yes, IE is a pain to code for, but some people may be put off, even by the Level 1 method. Let me know what you think.
