| ExtremeTech has an interesting article up comparing Firefox 2, Opera 9 and IE7. |

Works for me every time. I guess you could go through the ExtremeTech front page. |

One thing they didn't mention in Opera was the voice commands. You can tell it to go back, forward, refresh etc. It will also read selected text to you! I really like this feature, although it's early days so it's not perfect.
And annoying/funny when it continually says 'sorry, I did not understand' whenever you breathe near the microphone! <--- terrible sentence, but hey, it's Friday! 
The mouse gestures are pretty neat too. |

Is Opera free? I remembered at one stage Opera was free for a limited time.
Opera is a great software, I especially like its bittorrent integration  |

Finally something we can agree on. I've been using Opera on my Mac for the past while and won't go back to anything else. IE, FireFox, Safari... none of them can touch Opera in terms of speed. Like other superior software (OS X  ), doesn't get the attention it deserves. Free since version 8.5, I think. |

Opera is pretty nice. Not free.
Crazy browser is free and pretty cool. Check it out. |

It used to be free, but advertising-supported. Google ads built right into the top of the interface.
But this new version is totally free and the ads are gone.
All my tech buddies swear by Opera, but I never caught on. I think I will try this new version for a week, though. It's really fast. |
