If you think IE sucks, use Firefox
I think is was Morten from Noget med ild, that during the Danish Mozilla Firefox party Saturday, started with some weird one liners like:
- If you think IE sucks, use Firefox
Some Danish ones:
- Syntes du IE sucks, brug Firefox
- Hvis din browser går i koks, så brug Firefox
So if you got a Firefox one liner, leave a comment. All languages are accepted.

Nem csíped az Explorert? Használj Firefox-ot!
"e" fent nem kedvenced? Menj el e helyre: http://firefox.hu
(it's a fun with Hungarian langugage, just using words "e" in them. Like: "Te tetted e tettetett tettet? Tettetett tettnek tettese te!" - anyway, the oneliner means: "e" up there is not your favourite? Go this place: http://firefox.hu)
English:
Have viruses and worms? Firefox means hygiene!
In UK english, "If you think IE sucks, use Firefox" can be miscontrued to imply that Firefox sucks even more than IE...
Presumably that's just a UK thing though :)
Taiwanese (Holo/Southern Min):
Lí nā kám-kak IE chin ló·, bô iōng Firefox. [in Latin script]
你若感覺 IE 真 ló·,無用 Firefox。 [in mixed Chinese/Latin scripts)

Comment by Da Scritch at November 23, 2004 06:18 PM | PermalinkI think it can only be misunderstood when it is properly pronounced. Voice is everything here!
The written sentence alone might be interpreted this or that way. Actualy, the pure meaning without any interpretation, IMHO, is a positive statement for firefox saying that you should use something else (Firefox) when you think that your standard browser (IE) is bad.
German:
Wenn Du glaubst, IE ist Mist, benutze Firefox
More precise, positive:
Wenn Du glaubst, IE ist Mist, benutze stattdessen Firefox
("stattdessen" -> instead)
->If you think IE sucks, use Firefox instead
More precise, negative:
Wenn Du glaubst, IE ist Mist, solltest Du erstmal Firefox benutzt haben
->If you think IE sucks, (geez) you should have seen Firefox
Might be nitpicking ;)

"Se você acha que o IE é uma merda, use o Firefox"
"Não seja mané, use o Firefox"
(Don't be silly, use Firefox)
español/spanish(argentina):
Si pensás que Ie apesta, usá Firefox
Español/spanish:
Si piensas que ie apesta, usá Firefox
German/Deutsch:
Wenn du denkst das IE stinkt, benutz Firefox.
If you thought IE errors were bad, wait until you see the hilarity when Firefox thinks every URL you attempt to go to from behind a proxy server originates at www.google.com, and if you don't think that sentence is run-on enough, wait until you check out the Firefox Bugzilla forum, where the "Firefox elite" will deny that their miracle browser has the slightest problem.
portuguese:
Se achas que o IE não presta, usa o Firefox.
I'd even add:
If you've finally understood that IE sucks, use Firefox.
Se finalmente percebeste que o IE não presta, usa o Firefox.
