Opera makes it quick and simple to find the information you want. With features like tabs, popup blocking, an integrated search field, and the ability to remember the sites your visited in a previous session, you control your browsing experience. Opera blocks viruses, spyware, and phishing web sites, too. All while being shockingly fast!

Like it. It is light, quick, safe, and cusomizable. What else is needed?
Quite nice, I use it as a third browser, in third position after Safari (first) and Firefox (second).
Too bad its look isn't very Mac native.
(Also: I can't set "; Command" to zoom out 10%, the shortcut gets deleted everytime I try to set it.)
I use the Windows version as my main browser at work, though. :)
The best browser in my opinion. Fast surfing, top nine favourites when opening a new tab, easy navigation through the web with mouse gestures and the sites are real fast at loading. I like that it can download bit torrents without using an extra client.
Have tried Safari for a few weeks, but came back to Opera.
Great thing.
The hell it does, ohwhateverblah. It's a big improvement over previous versions, but at best it's still only compatible to Firefox, interface-wise.
Looks nice enough to kick the tires, though. Any excellent features I should look for?
It's brilliant and the new 9.5 version now looks like a proper native Mac application!
The only browser that I've stuck with as my primary browser for more than a few months at a time. Every time I 'need' something that I'm accustomed to using through FF I search around and find out that it was already built in. The View>Styles menu is also invaluable for dealing with messy CSS.
Fastest browser for me.
Simply the best browser . Email is right there in the browser window too , no need to have two applications open at the same time .
Pair Opera with Privoxy to block adverts and pop-ups , match made in internet heaven .
I way prefer Opera over Firefox on Windows. However, on the Mac, I just use Safari. And I haven't really run into any sort of compatibility problems with Opera, regardless of the Operating System.
