After a brief foray with Opera I found it a little slow and lumbering. Mac OS X seems to have Safari stitched into it just like Internet Explorer with Windows hence my preference in the Windows environment. However on Sarah's Laptop I have her running Opera because its security features - She is quite happy.
I noticed Safari 3 had been launched at Beta level and I never really try these things until fully launched but I have tried it and I find it much better than Opera in terms of speed. Safari 3 is fairly quick but not as quick as Internet Explorer on PC despite Apple's claims, it has the 'as you type' spell checker and forms autofill without having to click a wand (in Opera). I have just purchase something online as the form filled out instantly - hurrah!
So its standard old Safari for me, what more I found a short cut key press on a mac (COMMAND+TAB) which switches from Mail, Finder and Safari in a flash regardless of whats running at the time.
