> Opera is and was the fastest browser on limited memory/cpu machines

I used Opera 5 on my 50 MHz 486 when no other browser was truly up to the task. Continued using it on other machines until Safari 2 hit on the Mac.

I've always thought that Opera was by far the best browser out there, but Safari integrates so well with Mac OS X and ends up being quite good with SafariStand and Saft (now using Glims). I might go back to Opera someday though.
