Rather than it's cool, it's more like it used to be so infernally horribad that everyone just have PTSDs of the malware, the bloat, the non-functioning websites, and for the masses of web developers, the horror of having to comply to Microsoft's arrogance against web standards and the resulting mess.

It has, of course, gotten much better since 9 and 10. I find them quite usable, though in the end I ended up clandestinely installing Firefox portable at work because I'm just more comfortable with the lady Fox.

In any case, I've never gotten used to Chrome. Chrome isn't better -- or worse. Every browser has its quirks. I know Firefox's quirks; I cannot stand to "learn" Chrome's.
