I use opera pretty much exclusively. super fast and wonderful. I only use ie for some sites that use idiotic activex. crazy amount of features right out of the vanilla install aswell and extremely modable. the best jerry, the best!

I used to use Opera years ago, but haven't tried it recently.
I stopped using it because it didn't conform to the standards and a lot of the sites I went to didn't display properly.

he-he. when was that? 2002? sites used to write broken html to look correct in internetexplorer, not really a concern anymore I'm sure. apart from sites that use activex as I said there's pretty much nothing that doesn't work perfect with opera

Yeah, I'm with ^ I prefer opera it makes it so much easier imo. May not be super fast with google maps, but it's actually pretty sweet. Also, the install base is smaller than ie, firefox, chrome or safari... which, not to say makes it safer, but it's less noticed

oh also the opera guys are really open to suggestions for new features or tweaks. they regularly add additional options based on forum feedback. I was personally responsible for bringing back the clickable tabs again (click to minimize, really nice for switching fast between a couple of tabs if you have a ton of tabs open and don't want to scroll or 1,2 key through the whole list to go between them each time), my proudest achievement! hehe
