Opera 10 (beta)
Anybody tried it?
Ive downloaded it, and even tho it is very pretty and a few new nice features, Im back too 9.64 for now.
One thing that is good about it is the Turbo feature, excellent when Im using my MobileBroadband. But it doesnt work with SSL, which means I have too keep turning it on and off.

People still use Opera, Lol.
I'd recommend going with Chrome/Safari, and then Firefox, in that order
Chrome if you can live with speed and no addon and fancy stuff.
Safari if you need a mix between speed/addons.
Firefox if you can put speed to the "back" a bit and care more about your extensions, customization, etc.
IE8....no chance, it's junk. In fact, with the alternatives to IE8, if someone comes in and says, "IE8 meets my needs perfectly", I'd enjoy meeting that person. Download chrome for 10 seconds, and you will not believe how much faster you will be able to surf in comparison to IE8. Anyone notice instead of making IE any better, Microsoft is making it more bloaty?

I hate IE, and refuse too ever use it, infact I only have V6 on my laptop, dont see point of updating lol.
I have chrome which I do use occasionaly, but I use Opera because it supports WML without any add-ons.

Chrome Is the way to Go.
Google's toy Is really a leap ahead of todays browsers.
I used to be a Firefox buff but now I really like the way Chrome functions mostly because of Its speed and delivery.

I was running 10 Alpha for a while and last night upgraded to 10 Beta. Moved all my bookmarks, wand, notes and removed 9.64
The turbo booster is a nice idea except the images of people appear like they got skin allergy rashes

There is this one feature in Opera that no other browser has, which is forwarding.
For example, you are viewing file 1.htm, you can foward up to x.htm, the same is true for all file types.

I downloaded it a few days ago; mostly impressed.
Just not a fan of Chrome. Don't get me wrong, I use Google (I have a G1, actually) but I am simply reluctant to hand over everything to Google.Denver Hunter | Webmaster | Library of Biz - Side Hustles, Small Business & Professional Growth

lol, I love people who comment on the "speed" of a browser. What is this? 1996? We have 2-3Ghz computers with almost 4GB RAM nowadays... browsers all open to the same on my machine...

It depends on your work.
Sometimes I have over 10 taps. If I don't restart firefox after a while, it consumes over 300-400K of memory.
Also depends on other applications you use, sometimes I have video converters or DVD maker that takes over 80% of CPU running simultaneously.

I prefer Safari, but I upgraded to Safari 4 and there's a conflict with something I installed on my computer and Safari won't load. I can't uninstall the other thing either as I can't find it (even with a search) as to where it is. It's no longer developed and I can't find anything recent on the net about it. Unfortunately, you can't uninstall Safari 4 like you could with the beta, so I'm stuck until I get my new Mac.
I do like Opera as my second choice, but I have found that some sites won't load in Opera. Softlayer is an example and that's frustrating. I don't know how to get these sites to load. I've tried changing who the browser identifies as, but it doesn't work. There are about a handful of sites that I go to that won't load and quite a few sites I find via searches that won't load.▐ hostingDifferent---We're hostingDifferent.™

I upgraded Opera has always been fast since I have known the browser. I recommend the browser for slow dial-up connection.

Well, I think the point is that you really shouldnt have to. I like FF as far as the nifty addons... but it has always (across 5 computers) been the slowest browser of them all, except for maybe IE8 which likes to lockup while it's thinking, pos.
Opera seems to always be fastest, even though I use Chrome a bit more than it.

Quite a lot of FanBoys on here....
I personally like all the above
IE*
Chrome
Opera*
FireFox*
I have all of them on each of my computers and laptops/notebook. All have their upsides and downsides.
Although BACK TO THE TOPIC AT HAND... I haven't downloaded Opera 10 yet. I'll do that now█ www.JGRoboMarketing.com / "Automate. Grow. Repeat"

I've also replaced 9.6x with the beta version. I'm not sure about the "Unite" feature of it but it looks interesting. Self-hosted services such as web/file/music/shout-outs. Interesting if that takes off.

Firefox runs faster than Chrome for me, so no need to cripple functionality and hand over my personal data on a platter. Firefox 3.5 which is in Beta now will be out shortly, which is faster than the current 3.1
Opera 10, love it but i just wish i could add all the functionality from Firefox so i could switch to it. Opera make the best phone/pda browsers bar none though.
