Opera 8 is pretty neat.

I just got it and I dig it. Honestly it's not that big of a deal to me, and unless you have a few bucks to spend it isn't worth it. So far on my system it hasn't run faster or opened pages any faster or better than Firefox. I think it actually may load faster than Firefox, but if a split second is a big deal to you... seek help.
I do like it though, it's a change. The interface wasn't appealing at first, but after finding a good skin and getting accustomed to how the hell the customization worked, I got it setup the way I like.
The mouse gestures is neat, I've been told Firefox has a extension for them as well but that they are "clunky" compaired to Opera, but that was the words of a person who hated Firefox.
Either way, this is now my new browser. Of course I still keep Firefox and IE around for other reasons. Which reminds me, I don't see an import tool for importing ALL my bookmarks from firefox :shakehead

I downloaded it (Opera 8) and checked it out, but since I don't use dialup anymore, I really don't see myself using it much.
