#2I don't trust Net Application's data. They always seem to show either IE or iOS mobile share being much, much larger than what the numbers of those devices would suggest.

Stat Counter usually seems more reliable to me

#4oh, this made me look at google analytics instantly. my blog is still safe with 6.68% `total` IE visits.

#5Firefox is horribly slow, and I don't even mean in comparison to Chrome. It's slow in its own right.
The constant updates? I'm getting used to it (although I can't really tell a difference one version to the next). It's the slowness and the crashing that gets to me.
Chrome has me spoiled I guess.

statcounter puts IE9 at 17%, not that far off: http://gs.statcounter.com/#browser_version_partially_combine...

What slowness do you talk about? I have mine open with 20 tabs. No slowness.

It also shows Chrome at double of what Net Apps says. I've been following Chrome's growth over the years, and the Statcounter number for Chrome seems a lot more likely than the Net Apps one.

I .. believe you, I guess. You obviously tried the current versions and they weren't for you. Still, I'm baffled.
I removed Chrome from my Android devices (what for?) and only have it on my desktop machines for tests. I start it once every fortnight.
Firefox, with its sync feature, keeps my browsing experience in order. I've to admit that I'm using the Beta 'channel' on both Windows and Android. The readability mode is amazing. My add-ons are really helpful.
Oh - and I didn't even mention that it's the fastest browser on an Android device for all I can tell (and so fast on my desktop that I couldn't give the crown to either IE, Chrome or FF - they all are plenty fast and good enough).
While I might sound a bit like a fan here (and I admit that I do like that browser quite a bit), I wonder what provoked your 'na na na na na!' Nelson style answer. The speed issue seems to be .. debatable / bad luck. Frequent updates are bad, but Chrome is good? Uhm.. Hard to take that serious.
Let's relax. I think that there's no need to argue about the value FF brought to the web. You might prefer 'newer' contestants and that's really fine! But bashing open-source projects that are alive, kicking and innovating, with some not-quite-that-creative broad 'ugh, slooow' criticism isn't .. nice or useful. In my world, at least.
