Internet & Networking Linux.com has a review of Opera 9.5, which also includes various benchmarks for Opera, Firefox, Safari, and IE on both Windows and Linux. Linuxcom concludes: "Opera 9.5 is full to the brim with features and improvements and highly customizable. By rolling in apps such as the mail client and IRC chat application, and integrating them into a user's browsing experience, Opera 9.5 is a worthy challenger to Firefox 3. It surely has enough power and features to make it my favorite browser. If only it were free software and open source!"

But 9.5 is buggy

I don't care if Opera is OSS or not. The problem with 9.5 release is the # of bugs. They are too many and distract from browsing on linux as well as on mac. I prefer Opera to Firefox anytime provided the release is relatively bug-free. But Opera x.00 and x.50 releases tend to be very buggy. Waiting for an updated release.
