Strangely enough, on tuesday I already had my credit card ready to  
buy Opera and then I got interrupted by some distraction. I've been  
using it on and off for the past year or so, but ever since version  
8.0.1 came out I realized that I'm using it exclusively.
Now most people may wonder why give up Safari... I used to be a  
Safari person, but what really did it for me was the fact that Safari  
gets really sluggish after prolonged use. I actually installed  
MemoryCell (which is a small menu item which shows you how much  
memory the currently active application is using, and I saw that by  
the end of the day Safari can eat up to 120 MB of memory for my type  
of usage. Opera however never goes over 60 MB! Opera never seems to  
slow down, the history is blindigly fast, the overall speed is  
fantastic. True, the initial appearance may turn you off, but if you  
give it a chance it is very rewarding. It can also be skinned with a  
ton of available skins out there.
Not to mention that in the 5 MB of download you also get a mail and  
news client, bit torrent downloads, IRC, etc...
I'm really pleased with it.
