The review must be by some FF fan who is using it for years.
I found Opera much useful than FF. But, in some cases FF rocks.
Opera & FF together can replace IE, even in case of Windows update.
Does any user of DataOne have any idea how to check DataOne usage without IE - Widows only feature? You can say FF + IE tab. Then please do it at Linux desktop, I promise I would never use Opera from that day. The only solution is Opera. Now limitation of Opera - open the website: *wbut.net/ - you must notice something.

They didn't test Safari? Safari was the first browser to pass the Acid 2 test, and it's much more better than all the other browsers. They didn't even test Camino (from Mozilla), which is the browser I'm currently using.

Uh... because both of them are Mac only browsers and they were only interested in Windows stuff.

Plus, who cares for the opinions of these stupid guys anyway! Seeing the amount of knowledge they have about Opera and their misconception about the usefulness of Internet Explorer, it isn't likely that they would have rated the other browsers fairly.

Whatever the report says - Safari is the best browser. Yes, Firefox is good too, but Safari's still the best.

As for IE, it is the worst browser that I've ever used..... ever!

Yup, it sure is. Opera is also by far the most feature laden browser on Mac OS X too, but the interface sucks. The developers have just ported the thing to the Macintosh platform without reworking the interface, so it has the same ugly Windows interface on the Mac too. And no one likes to use ugly applications, Mac users least of all.

When I used Windows (those dark ages), Opera was my primary browser and I never felt its interface was ugly. In fact, I felt it had the best interface among web browsers. And so do most other people who use Opera. Its interface is hardly ever criticised on the Windows platform. That is because it is really a good interface as far as Windows is concerned because Windows APIs had not supported really advanced interface elements till XP (though Vista is all set to change that now, if the forthcoming version of Yahoo! Messenger is any example).
However, the same interface is practically crap on the Mac platform. It has no three dimensional elements, drawers, animations, transparency, does not follow standard Mac OS X rules such as using the zoom button to expand/contract the browser's size to fit the content within, dragging text clippings, system-wide dictionary and spell-check, etc. And look at the other browsers, specially the Cocoa ones. Opera looks pathetic when compared to Safari, OmniWeb, Camino or Shiira.
Yes, I know everyone wants a good interface but what is a good interface for Windows users is probably crap for Mac users because they are used to much better interface design. I am not boasting or preaching anything here - just stating the facts as is. Which is why I said that "no one likes to use ugly applications, Mac users least of all." :)
I hope Yahoo! sets a precedent that other developers follow, if only for the sake of offering proper competition, which will spur Apple to further improve their interface design. :)

I hope it never does! :p
It is fun being a member of an exclusive and elite club of Mac users. ;)
