So who's still using a browser of the past?

I'm CERTAINLY not!

Get with the future and get Chrome-ified!

I like Chrome but have kept FF and still use it most of the time.

I can't let go of the fox that easily, but I definitely am not going back to the those old browsers such as Netscape Navigator and the early (and far more buggier) versions of IE..That's bad.

I still use Firefox for some of the developer plugins that I incorporated into my daily work, but as soon as Google Chrome supports user extensions, I'll be completely Chromified.

If by stone-age you mean Internet Explorer - not of course, although occasionally I check on my web-designs to make sure the newbies using Explorer will also have a good look.

I use Firefox 3 and testing Chrome now, though I think I'll use a mix of these too, depending on what you do. I also like the feel and look of Safari.

I'm still using FF for one big reason.  ITS CUSTOMIZABLE.  If I don't like a feature I can turn it off.

Allow me to turn off the popup blocker.  Its convenient sometimes, but the portal for all my schoolwork requires popups to work correctly.

I'd like to turn off domain highlighting, but can't.  If I'm browsing myspace for example, I'd like to be able to see someone's profile name.  I've got an internal bookmark folder called "stuff I just remember".  It works great and I can keep track of my favorites no matter what computer I'm using.

I'd like for chrome to open my home page when I open a new tab (I set it to my home page for a reason guys...)  Currently, if I want to re-open my homepage, i have to open a tab, then click again.  You know, if I want to open a different site, that's what the bookmark bar is for right?

I also don't like the omnibar.  Why does it suggest that I visit the jonas brothers' myspace page whenever I start typing myspace?  Keep your ads out of my browser!!

Also random stuff, like having a "print" button.

That being said, I do like it, just let me customize it more.  Add more options to the options screen.  That's why I hate IE7 and 8, they're nowhere near as customizable as IE6.

Same, I use FF3 the majority of the time just because of the functionality it provides. Google Chrome is small and simple, but FF3 has an already established feature base, GC has yet to realize its full potential.

I use IE on any Windows machine I have. It works fine enough for me, and if you have all the latest patches, security is not so much an issue.
