I love Opera.
Well now playing with Opera for some hours I have to ask you “why”?
Is it really as fast as they claim?
It seems that the styles are the last things rendering and this makes browsing boring for me.
I use all three Mac browsers regularly, depending on what I’m doing. When I’m developing a website I use Firefox. Like Sue said, code for Firefox, test in everything else. Firefox has the best webdev tools/plugins etc… and its rendering engine is tops. If I’m browsing the forums or need to do online writing then I use Safari (which is still my default browser), because its built-in Spell checker rocks and I really like that I can output an entire page to pdf format for review or design check.
If I’m doing research on web analysis or some comparative review where I know I’m going to need 30-50 tabs open, then Opera out does all the other browsers easily. I find that Firefox slows down after 10-15 tabs, Safari at about 20, but Opera keeps chugging away with 50 tabs with little slowdown. At least, that’s been my experience.
