That's like when you hear about new Firefox versions. Easy to forget these legacy softwares that were king of their day are still crawling around. I imagine both still have their followings and always will.

My friend, Firefox has half a billion active users. Half a billion. While their usage share has declined, the overall number of Internet users has grown, so the absolute number of Firefox users has remained stable or even grown. source: https://blog.mozilla.org/press/ataglance/ https://blog.mozilla.org/press/ataglance/ Now maybe Mozilla is lying, which I suppose is possible, but they have a pretty good idea of how many people use Mozilla since nearly every copy of Firefox pings Mozilla's servers to check for updates on a regular basis. Based on Mozilla's usage share relative to Chrome's usage share, that number seems to roughly jive with Google's claims for the number of active Chrome users: http://www.theverge.com/2014/6/25/5841924/google-android-users-1-billion-stats http://www.theverge.com/2014/6/25/5841924/google-android-use... I wish I was so unfortunate as to create a "legacy softwares" that is still "crawling around" with such a huge, supportive, dedicated user base of half a billion people strong.

Chrome is flashy, thats all. But Firefox is extremely robust and a real work horse. Have 200+ tabs open and it works just fine. Dont forget "Old is Gold". Dont write off firefox JUST b'cos its old.
