So undigg me but I like both though they have what you might call a somewhat more drab look. On my Windoze and MacOSX boxes they've been just plain faster, and I appreciate it. I use all the others, too, though. I was disappointed Google didn't make a copy of Webkit-based Chrome for the Mac.
I just explained to you that Opera's growth is tremendous, financially. Opera has something like 20-30 desktop users.The point is that Opera is BETTER OFF THAN EVER BEFORE (more users on all products, massive increase in revenue, lots of cash, is profitable, etc.), so "poor Opera" is an extremely ignorant and silly thing to say.
I can understand Chrome, but Safari? Safari blows, and Mobile Safari blows donkeys. It probably looks like it gaining market share because they practically force you to download it with iTunes and Quicktime. Yeah, I know you can avoid it if you pay attention to menus, but seriously, how many people do that. They want their iTunes, or their Quicktime fix, and the quickest way to get it is to click yes to everyting.I'd kill for a version of Firefox or Chrome on my iPhone. Why am I being forced to use an inferior browser on my iPhone? Because if Apple allowed someone else to make a browser it would be like admitting that theirs sucks. NOTE TO APPLE, Pride is a SIN! A Deadly SIN!

I'm saying it's a good thing. It's actually kind of depressing.
