Hey all,

I was looking at my vast array of different browsers installed on my Mac (6 at the moment), and began to wonder if anyone really uses Opera anymore, and whether the percentage is significant enough to warrant any special attention.

First, the interface in Opera is, let's face it, less than beautiful. I also am really turned off by the giant ad that appears in the header in the free version. And is it just me, or does it take five times longer to open than browsers like IE, Safari, or Camino?

Can any Opera users give me their reasons for using this browser, and if so, their reasons for not using other browsers?

- JB
