Still, Opera is infinitely better than Firefox, unless you make heavy use of its add-ons. Give it a try

I use Opera on my Windows PC since 2003.

I prefer Safari or Firefox on Mac almost solely because they have smooth pixel scroll.

I have safari, firefox, opera, camino and chrome on my mac. Curious + web developer.

Hmmm...Ironically enough I see to have a problem with my gmail in the Chrome browser. Anyone else experiences difficulties?

I think I will give Opera a chance on my Mac too. If I could only find a way to make the scroll ultra smooth like ff and safari...

i've had all these browsers on my pc for a while, firefox still wins.

I thought all scroll bars looked like that on a Mac... I don't know how I can help you.

By the way, that's the coolest screen shot I've ever seen

Not the looks, it's how smooth it scrolls. It's hard to describe unless you try it on a mac, safari vs opera.

the only thing i don't like with opera is that it only seem to load tabs if they are active. i dont know how many times i've started buffering videos etc, clicked another tab and read some stuff while waiting, then going back just to see it hasn't buffered a second. annoys the shit out of me.

chrome is still missing shit. for example- try hovering your mouse over the flag next to your username; it won't show the name of the country.

tbh i still use IE and haven't had any problems. i tend to switch between chrome and IE just to change shit up though. chrome runs hulu videos and .gif images better than IE for sure.

Yes? Are you using the keypad?

If so thats actually IMO a more correct way of scrolling. Scrolling via your keyboard should go x number of lines, either defined in the app or in the OS as a whole. Its a pretty standard part of UI design.

No I thought mouse scroll for some odd reason.... dunno what I was thinking.

But the scrolling isn't smooth for me like safari or firefox 3.5. And if I enable "smooth scrolling" in the advanced options it's still not the same. Instead it feels like this momentum scroll on the iphone, rubber-band-ish .

Opera is better than all of them and a pioneer in browser technology. They had tabs way before any other browser did.

Also Opera is pretty rock stable I have had running for days upon days having opened and closed dozens and dozens, probably hundreds of tabs and it never takes up more than 300-400mb of ram and usually very little CPU.

It also runs on Windows, OSX, Linux, OS/2, Solaris, and a bunch of other operating systems. It is also the most standards compliant browser. Its integrated mail client, M2 is also really really nice.

All this for a smaller download size than Firefox!

just tried it, its shit compared to Chrome.
