I'm going to go out on a limb here...

Opera 9 (PC) is the best browser I have seen to date.

Does anybody else share my enthusiasm? Its feature rich; love the speed dial; smooth effects; fast page loading etc etc etc.

By no means a bad browser - just not my one of choice at the moment. :)
 
Have to agree with you (but also have to say, have not really worked on other except IE), but I also feel that opera is the best. Since I installed it way back with version 7 (when you still had to pay to use it, or you would get the crappy adds at the top), it was amazing
 
I wouldnt say i'm enthusiastic about it, but if I had to choose one where the choice was Opera/Firefox/IE... Opera would win every time
 
i just dont like it

firefox is simple, silly thing like book marks i can move them without having to into the manager

the scrolling goes blurry where as firefox it does not

i can open up 2 firefox pages where as in opera it adds it the tab of the one open one

silly things that make it crap for me
 
I also use FF but when installed Opera ages ago while I was still on dialup I was pretty impressed with it. I guess I'm sticking to FF because I'm too used to the bookmarks and extensions.

Can it now save pages in a neat structure like Firefox and Internet Explorer or is it still the everything in one directory mess it has been since the first version of Opera?

I used Opera for a long time, but eventually threw it out after I'd used Firefox for a while.
 
I have saved a couple of pages with it, with no problem, and all in single files. I like some of the new "widgets" (think its called widgets), like the extensions you get in firefox. Especially the one to safe youtube videos.
 
I love Opera. Solid, really decent ad-blocking, nice tab handling, and fast.

That said, I'm using Maxthon 2 RC3; much better since the last horrible betas.
 
Browser of choice - fast, speed dial, widgets and email all together.And voice!

Only one problem, email with pdf attachments sometimes do not decode correctly!
 
I've found that you can't open up certain pages with Opera but you can with Firefox and IE

Mostly due to badly coded pages, rather than Opera. btw the webafrica page works fine, even the old one was fine in Opera?

But my browser of choice too, have you guys seen the changelog for Kesteral, Opera 9.5? The main features are looking nice, check it out on http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog where you get the latest weekly build before the beta's come out. :D

A whole years worth of development on the rendering engine and the best CSS3 compliant browser around.

I find FF to be a bit too plain, rather than calling it simple. It comes with almost nothing, you have to search exstentions for about 2 hours to get it to the same level as Opera when you first get it.
