I can hardly believe I am saying this, but Opera 9 is REALLY NICE.

I\‘ve been playing around with it for several hours, only but I really like it. The feature set is trully amazing (speech plugin is more than decent). Surprisingly, I have not encountered any compatibility problems, so far, either. GMail works like a charm.

Well, done, guys!

P.S. Opera is MUCH more lightweight than Firefox. This means - less freeze-ups, crashes and less memory eaten up by/wasted on your browser. Certain pages can open more robustly, faster, too.
