Might consider downloading this, but I am already happy with Firefox, so I probably won't.

I use Opera, I got it free when they were doing their 10th birthday give away. I love it, way better than IE.

Opera not being free was never the issue with me... there's... ways around that. I just prefer firefox for other reasons :P

I love Opera! i find it so much better than firefox, firefox never used to like my laptop hibernating, when it woke up firefox would hog the CPU 100% and crash... opera doesn't and is actually a faster browser. I really am very pleased.

Microsoft Word is an awful browser.

I love it, way better than IE.

That's not saying much ;)

Ladies and gentlemen, the Belgian sense of humour is alive and well.

i tried opera when they were giving it away for free.

Witout an easy to use adblock plugin, its not worth bothering with.

Been using it since their 10th birthday and I'm loving. Built-in Mail, IRC and torrent clients are awesome :)

But it's crazy... it's all... weird.. The tab bar is under the navigation buttons.. crazy.. It's crazy!
But apart from that, there's no thumbnail tabs, so it's a massive step down from Safari with Safaristand, or Omniweb.
It is now at least my 5th browser of choice though.

The only thing I use Safari for is the "private browsing" (aka Porn mode). It doesn't store cookies, the sites you've been on or anything. I wish Opera had something like that in it.
