I think this is an April fools. If it is, it's pretty hilarious. If it's not let me go find Thor (the Norse god, not the poster) so I can borrow his hammer to knock some sense into you.

LOL. "Get the W3C standard changed to fit IE6". Love it.

Although, in all seriousness, the fact that IE7 seems to want to include folders I've saved things to recently in my browser history- while making it harder to move around my directory structure to save downloads- makes me want to smack the geek responsible.

My favorite part is the questions to download IE6.

I think you will find that IE is the most bloated, and non-standard browser out there. Further, it is not a stand alone program, it is hopelessly tied into the operating system which in turn provide more route of vulnerability. IE has had more security updates because it needs them.

I stick with SeaMonkey as my number 1, and FireFox as my number 2. I only open IE if it is absolutely necessary.

I hate IE6 And all other versions, I only use it because thats what my FalungongCult Created Proxy program uses it. Otherwise Mozilla all the way.

Chrome failed.

Chrome continues to gain users every month and is currently used by more people than both Safari and Opera - how is that "failed?"

Failed to hold onto my interest?

A) Its not very private, say if the last thing I looked at was something... smutty and someone else happens to open chrome.... WHAM Hilarity Ensues.

B) Many of my PC problems seem to have sprung up after its installation.

C) I found it somewhat difficult to navigate.

D) How it handled favorites was kinda weird.

Firefox ftw.

Randomguy speaks the truth. Or you could clear your history. It's no more cumbersome to do private browsing than any other browser. Another good solution is not to go to any websites you'd be embarrassed about.

The bookmarks work fine for me. I just checked 'Always Show Bookmarks Bar' and it's a lot like Safari.

I don't find it difficult to navigate at all. I especially like the suggestions for most visited websites when you open a new tab.

I didn't have any PC slow-down problems. :idontknow:

All of this is not to say Firefox isn't awesome, I just think that some of your criticism of Chrome is misplaced.

My only problem with Chrome is that there isn't a linux or mac version yet. So with Firefox I remain. And I'll probably still stay with Firefox even when their is a Linux/Mac version of Chrome. Firefox 3.1 looks sick - the new JavaScript engine is supposed to make Ajax run like a dream. And since the web is headed towards an Ajax/PHP combination for dynamic pages that's pretty important.
