I have Opera and I think it's great. I first used it in 2002, IIRC, and it
was probably the best Linux browser at the time. Unless you have developed
dependencies on Firefox plugins, you will have no withdrawal symptoms. Linux
installation is a drag-and-drop job. Free to download and use. No strings
attached.
