As Microsoft, Mozilla et. al. continue to release browsers full of bloatware and unnecessary "features," it's time for the development community to take a stand. IE6 is the most proven browser still in use today. Sign the petition: let's finally get the world onto a single browsing platform, with the simplest standards.
IE6 has received more security updates than Firefox, making it the clear choice from a security standpoint. Its lack of unnecessary, memory-hogging features like tabbed browsing allow designers to utilize substantially more screen real estate.
Make the right choice. Choose IE6.

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.

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.

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

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. Posts: 1831 | Registered: Jan 2003

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.

Well, yes and no. The advent of indexable flash is pretty important, and--believe it or not--silverlight may be a big player in the not too distant future.
Unless we start seeing some really, truly excellent visual designers for js/ajax tools. If designers could build ajax apps as easily as they can build flash ones...
