Reply #8: Yeah, I thought so.

I used to use it in the bad-old-days of Windows 98, and back then it was noticeably faster than IE, was very customizable, had a fine bookmarking system, and somehow didn't crash that shitty operating system nearly as much as Microsoft's own browser did. (When I look out to the parking lot and see no flying cars there, I blame Windows 98, so take my opinion with that large grain of salt.) Opera back then was still better than IE is now.

I switched over to Firefox mainly because I was testing it out, liked its niftiness just as much, and so I sort of left Opera behind. But Opera would certainly be my second choice, if I had to make one, and now that the black-hats are targeting Firefox because of its rising popularity, I might have to make that choice someday soon....
