I have Opera on my "dock" and have used it a few times.
It works.

So, does Opera have, or not have the DiT Seal of Approval?

Opera came out in the nineties when the browser wars were going on between Netscape and IE. It was known for its blazing speed, even over dial up. It too supports a lot of the features that firefox supports and then some. If you aren't satesfied with Firefox or Mozilla and known better then to go back to IE, then give opera a try.

Opera brings home the browser battle
If showmanship alone could win the Web browser wars, Jon von Tetzchner's Opera Software would have a serious advantage.

The Opera chief executive arrived dramatically by boat on Lake Union, and later donned a Viking helmet at the request of a blogger, as the company from Oslo, Norway, launched its new Web browser Tuesday in rival Microsoft's backyard.

The release of Opera 9 is the company's latest effort to gain market share against Microsoft's dominant Internet Explorer for desktop PCs. In that regard, the Firefox browser has made more headway the past two years.

Some market studies have put Firefox's market share above 10 percent worldwide, and Opera's share below 1 percent.

"We have seen how Firefox has managed to grow in a very short time. That's an inspiration to us," Tetzchner said in an interview at the launch event. "They had no progress for years, and suddenly they had progress."

Opera has sought to differentiate itself on the technological front. For example, the new browser incorporates BitTorrent, file-sharing software that has drawn fire for enabling fast distribution of pirated materials, but has been embraced by some companies for legal downloads.

BitTorrent inventor Bram Cohen said at the Opera that his company has been talking with people at Microsoft, but it's not clear whether the Redmond company would similarly include the BitTorrent software in Windows or Internet Explorer.

"On a purely technical level, that's a no-brainer -- obviously it should be," Cohen said. "As far as what Microsoft will say about that, it's a little hard to say."

In another respect, Opera 9 shows how Web browsers are replacing some of the functions of operating systems by serving as platforms for small programs. Opera has special-purpose "widgets" that run on top of the browser. Microsoft's upcoming Windows Vista operating system offers similar "gadgets," and Apple's OS X has widgets.

Features aside, the primary improvement in the Opera 9 browser is improved compatibility with different types of Web sites, said Daniel Goldman of Baltimore, who runs the Opera Watch online site.

"Previous versions of Opera have had problems with site compatibility, and Opera 9 has fixed a lot of those problems, which is probably the biggest advantage," Goldman said.

Apart from its PC-based browsers, Opera offers browsers for mobile devices, and it has made deals to provide browsers for Nintendo's DS game device and its upcoming Wii console.
I really love Opera, it is sure fast. Ilike the Wand feature and the spell checker and how you can get it to check one word instead of the whole post like Konqueror. I have not tried Oper 9 Beta yet, maybe I should?

I have not used Firefox since the New Year but I still use Mozilla Suite and Konqueror on occasion. But each has its own pro's and cons.

I love Opera, but I'm back to Firefox 1.5.0.4 - the memory problems I was having seem to have been fixed up. FF has no equal when it comes to extensions.
