The new Opera is the epitome of awesomeness. Anyone tried it yet?
Recently, I've been using Google Chrome as my general browser and Opera for virtually everything else. It's got a built-in feed aggregator, a mail server, and it can make TA look like an ordinary page, so you can browse it at work if you want with just a few tweaks. It's like the Swiss Army knife of web browsers, but Chrome was lighter and had the quick search thingy at the press of the "tab" key, so I never bothered to change.
The most awesome thing about it is the service called "Opera Unite", which lets you turn your computer into a web server — it can also be password protected if you don't want the world to download your pr0n music.
And, guess what? Opera's now lighter than ever (took 3 secs to open here), and now it's got a search feature similar to that of Chrome's.
Who else is a fan?

I use it sometimes. I actually installed the new version of it yesterday, and got the shits when it made itself the default browser without asking me
The red 'O' thing up in the left corner looks weird too, but it's a pretty decent browser.

Yeah, it's definitely quicker. On it atm.
I might switch back and forth between the two.

Its faster, more standards compliant, contains a whole suite of features that you might find useful (BT client, news reader, full mail client, personal media/content server), contains most of the things you get from plugins in Firefox by default, and its all in a smaller download than FF.
