Web browser usage stats for March 2012

I use it, but have to cloak as Firefox on most sites because of browser sniffing that wants to refer Opera to the mobile site.

I suspect that there are a few who report as Firefox, but are actually Opera users... maybe like all 3 of us.

^^ THIS
Opera makes the rest look archaic in comparison (Yes, that includes Chrome).
Firefox has all but disappeared from my radar, and Chrome just feels too restrictive and simple after you've used Opera.
Been using it for a few months now and I'm just more and more impressed each day.
 
Is Opera really that good, didn't fair that well in a browser benchmark I recently read. I'll try find it.

Dude, ignore the benchmarks etc. and just try it (trust me, it's fast and like in that typical "Chrome" way)
Install a few add-ons etc. Play with some settings, you'll see...

It even detects when your link speed sucks and optimizes it for you (probably using cache servers, I don't know). The Plugins install in a very slick way without needing browser reboots etc.
On top of all that you get awesome customization with themes, Opera Unite, Opera Sync, a cool widget bar that can "hide" on the edge of the screen, a better menu layout than Chrome IMO, Notes built in, double clicking the little bar between the tab menus and bookmark bar gives you a "tile" style page layout preview, hovering tabs gives you fast and slick preview too etc.

I use Opera. It is by far the best browser. It just works, and it is so user friendly and visually appealing with so many useful features that other browsers lack.

It's the default browser?

Firefox going downwards, Chrome going up.

I used to use firefox but it had problems with some websites and seems to have gotten slow. Then I switched over to Opera but again some sites did not load correctly I then switched to Chrome and low and behold all the sites that did not work on firefox and the ones that did not work on Opera is now working without any problems.
