Amazingly fast, stable and secure. More Mac-like than ever before. I'm giving it a shot as my default browser. I've used OPERA for the past four years and 9.5.2 is the best to date! BTW, some of OP's features take some getting use to. (I've been testing 9.5.x as betas for a couple of months.)

I have previously reviewed this software. I am reviewing it again based on overall performance, security, and stability.not preference.
First like Firefox, and Camino, this bowser is "rock solid secure" does not crash, and hs built in "handicapped features" not found in the "big guys" Deleting "old preferences" will cure your fears. Second, it has a built in mail client, and alerts are given me,when I receive a message or a blocked pop up. This holds true for sent messages as well.
This is the only browser with a "bit torrent client; what about the big guys?
Also it is not a memory hog; I have ussd this browser in my classic time, and spent $40 dollars; it is now free.
Those of you complaining about it's looks, download a skin to make it look like the browser of your choice, Netscape, IE, Camino, Safari; look for yourself don't post something which I have found correct. Yes all reviews seem to be based on prefeence; would it not be wise to be objective?
Lastly, rather than store the paasswords in the keychain, it has a Wand Manager for passwords. I cant find an issue with a browser remembering passwords in it's own database for security purposes.
Please change the user agent for sites I am reading that Opra will not display; it has no problem in recognizing a bank site I vist, but Safari does have a peoblem.

Opera 9.5 and weak wifi networks - Version: 9.5.2, 8/20/2008 08:41AM PST

For the last month I've been living in a well known commercial hotel chain because of work being done on my home. The quality and strength of the wifi signal is weak at best and, at night, it often becomes unusable.
This situation has provided me with a great opportunity to investigate whether browsers differ in their ability to open pages in a weak wifi network. Consistently Opera 9.5 has way outperformed all of its Mac rivals including Safari 3.1, Firefox 3, Omniweb, iCab, and Camino. Under all but the most minimal wifi conditions Opera will open pages that none of the other browsers can and even when they are able to open pages, such as igoogle, Opera will open them faster.
Having said this, Opera has limitations. It is, alas, consistently less successful than any of the other browsers to open some very common web pages as accurately as ANY of the other browsers. Often Opera fails to open igoogle pages properly - leaving out items and often requiring a refresh command. Were Opera to correct this problem and have the capacity to open igoogle and gmail as well as any of the other browsers in the Mac world, it could claim to be the best Mac browser.
