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!"

Ok, first of all, i did not read through all 3 pages of comments, so if i am echoing some one else, then it must mean that i am not the only one.

Ok, you CAN adblock in opera, i did a 1 minute Google in Vista yesterday, found out that it is one .ini file that you download and place in a folder, and BAM! done. then you can even get a CSS add on that helps block ugly/mean CSS elements. again, 1 minute google.

I am a die-hard FireFox fan, allways have benn. But FireFox 3 crashes in both XP and Vista for me, WAY to much, like atleast once EVERY hour. So i am evaluating Opera.

works good, is responsive, nice. I think i have a main stream Alt to the Fox, if it keeps on being un-useable, i have found a firefox replacement.
