Recently there have been many discussion about browsers, but it seems that people can't distinguish between the best brower with "the best browser they've ever tried". For example, if you use only IE, you should say nothing, it's the best as it the only. If you say that you use IE and Firefox, it means that you don't know safari, and google chrome. If you say that you've tried IE, FF, Safari, GC, it seems you didn't try Opera.
Since few people here know about this brower, I advice you to try it, or at least make a quick tour at the homepage of Opera, you'll see that it's great. If you see the comparison talbles in wiki, you must be surprised that Opera is the most complete-functioned.
I've tried IE, Safari, FF, Google Chrome, Epiphany, but I choose Opera as my favorite. (I don't say it's the best for everyone).
Unfortunately, since many people like you don't hear about it, many internet sofwares (plugin, search bar,...) don't work with it.

When we talk about the best overall browser then Opera should be at the top. It is under rated and not many people have used it because years ago users had to pay a licence fee or accept banners. Firefox was free when it came out, so naturally users flock to using it. Most did not and still do not realise Opera was the first in many things including tabbed browsing and speed dial. Based on personal experience Opera is more secure than Firefox. I only need to have Firefox running for less than 25 hours to have someone in a different country taking over control of my PC.
I believe things may become better for Opera. If there are more users this will attract the attention of website owners. What is important to me I can open many tabs on Opera without fearing a crash. I cannot say the same thing about Firefox. Chrome is fast but look at its system requirements and the actual amount of disk space it takes for an installation.
all the best,

i have used IE, aol, chrome and others but chrome seems to be the fastest among them. apart from it being user friendly, it is fast, which is the main thing. if you look at the speed comparison among these popular browsers, chrome is the fastest one so far. IE 8 is going to be released that is going to be beat chrome as well in speed but chrome is more easy to use than IE
