Shoutout to this Kiwi legend in this Firefox 1.0 NYT ad (2004) (blog.mozilla.org)

Back in 2004, the Mozilla Foundation placed a two-page Firefox advocacy ad in The New York Times, featuring the names of 10,000 donators.

What I wasn't expecting though, was this prominently featured quote:

“I installed Firefox on my laptop
today. It’s so fast — I never knew
there could be that much of a
difference.”
— Stephen Cropp, New Zealand

What a legend. I wonder if Mr. Cropp is still using Firefox, and what he's up to these days.

I've come full circle, and now use Firefox on both my PC and smartphone, mostly so I can use adblockers. It's a great platform to this day.
