"There is a speed war on the web. Browsers compete on many fronts; security, standards support, features and speed. Most people are aware of which major browser fails on three of these, but one of them is still open for grabs. Speed." On Windows, Opera was the fastest browser, while on Linux Konqueror performed the best for viewing basic pages (however, as soon as images, scripts or frequent use of back/forward buttons is involded, Opera is faster). On MacOS X, Opera and Safari perform the best. Overall, Gecko-based browsers did fairly poorly.

In my experience, that is exceedingly rare nowadays. I can't even remember the last time I came across a website that didn't work properly in Opera.
I'm using the 9.0 series now, and it's shaping up to becoming a truly amazing browser. By far the best option on Mac, in my opinion. Safari isn't bad at all, but it's a bit slower and tends to use a LOT of memory. I haven't even bothered using Firefox on the Mac in at least half a year. It's just way too slow. (Although it got a lot better when 1.5 was released, but the general feeling of the browser is still sluggish.)
On Linux, however, I use Opera and Konqueror.
