I can't wait for the full release of Opera 10 (http://www.opera.com/browser/next/). Just downloaded it now, I've been sticking to Opera 9.64 for ages. After hearding GREAT things about it, I'm sold.
What made me laugh though, the Acid3 tests which Opera list on their site, after running it in other browsers, it's shameful.
Opera 9: 85/100
Opera 10: 100/100
Firefox 3: 70/100
IE 8: 19/100 (With an added error, wouldn't run properly. haha)

Now all Opera needs to do is sort out Opera Link.

IE is just going downhill and fast, its pretty upsetting to see something a company forces on you be so crappy. But then again it is microsoft.

To be fair, Firefox 3.5 b4 gets a 93/100. Hopefully the RC can make 100/100. IE is just pathetic...

Acid3 test for me on Firefox 3.0.10 gives me 71/100, and IE8 64-bit gave me 20/100 in the end with a big FAIL error in the upper left.
if opera fixed the onLoad = Old they inherited from Safari/IE, then I'd use Opera, sort of.

ReactOS beta is currently slated for christmas, but that will probably change. Until beta, we'll all have to deal with it.

Chrome gets 100/100 on the Acid Test ;)
Opera is nice a nice browser though.

Currently trying out 10, and it locks up more than Firefox does. The only time I see Opera as better than Firefox, is maybe when its bare with no add-ons. Fully loaded, Firefox wins over Opera. After adding a widget to Opera, it eats my memory and still wants more. Firefox caps itself (usually) at 150,000k.

I'm running it right now at 170,000K, it's never locked up yet. But with Opera 8 they had the same issue, it would eat memory and always lock up but they fixed that in 9. So they'd fix it most likely before they release the stable version. It's no problem though, running perfectly fine at 170,000K and not a single crash, CPU usage is fine. Couldn't even tell it was running at that level. Opera 8 would crash at near 100,000K, Opera 9 would be around 180,000K.
Opera 9 was even worse on MacOS. That thing annoyed the hell out of me. Constant crashes everytime you opened a site up, always having to restart itself. Linux has some issues with the RAM usage, but I used Firefox on Linux, ran easier.
