And? I have quite a few users who are still on XP, with IE8, and they don't really have any problems either, for the same reasons I don't. Other than, of course, the occasional web site that whines about old versions. IE8 still gets security updates and bug fixes, too.

I shifted to chrome from Firefox 2-3 years ago because Firefox used to crash or freeze a lot but now

Any browser can be the best choice under the right circumstances. I didn't advocate that anybody should use any particular browser. I just wanted to comment on the comment about IE being unstable. In my experience, that simply isn't true. Add-ons for it are buggy as hell, if you allow them to run, but IE itself (even 8) is at least as stable of Firefox. I've had issues with Chrome, too, at times.

I'm not overly fond of being Google's product, to be sold at a profit to whatever advertiser thinks they know better than me what I should buy.
