perhaps an additional consideration... on the redirect, put a list of links to the websites for as many alternative browsers as you would like to suggest, perhaps even to their download pages (though that may need to be semi-constantly monitored for changes more than the homepages would). this would allow even the newbie-est to find and install whatever flavor tickles their tastebuds with a minimum of effort or understnding on their part. but i do love the reversal of fortunes this initiates *g*
