Browse Happy is a website created by the Web Standards Project in August 2004[1] to convince internet users to use a web browser other than Microsoft's Internet Explorer. It focuses on security issues in Internet Explorer and suggests four alternatives: Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari and Google Chrome. The core of the site is a collection of stories of people who have switched from Internet Explorer to alternative web browsers.[2]
In June 2005, the Web Standards Project decided an anti-Internet Explorer campaign did not fit with their mission, and they handed the site over to Matt Mullenweg.[3]
On December 18, 2007, it was discovered that the browsehappy.com site contained hidden links in the footer to freecookingrecipes.net, an online recipe site.[4] When pointed out on the wordpress.org and wordpress.com support forums, those links were quickly removed without a response from Automattic.[citation needed]
The site is now maintained by WordPress[5] with collaboration from HTML5 Boilerplate team members.
