Opera 10 Survives A Mac Browser Shootout
I’ve been doing some comparison shopping since Snow Leopard came out and installed a 64-bit Safari on my MacBook. Browser shopping. There’s both good news and bad news regarding the browser wars.
Wars? Sure. It’s Microsoft against the rest of the browsers. Firefox, Safari, Opera, even Google Chrome. The good news is that we have choices. Good choices. The bad news is, well we have to choose from among the best browsers ever, Mac or Windows.
For the past three days I’ve been bouncing back and forth between Mac.... (excerpted).

Yup, i disabled ads, javascript, java and internet plugins in an attempt to avoid the page to automagically change to a different article if left unattended for some time. Dosen’t work, though so i might as well re-enable everything for Mac360…

Opera on Snow Leopard makes me sad. It’s not more than half the speed it had (same version….) in Leopard.
Still, it’s addicting.
BTW: Opera has the most customizable interface, see my example: http://i30.tinypic.com/141l3mb.png
No other browser allowed me to get rid of all that clutter
Editor’s Note: What? You’re not clicking on all those ads in a loving attempt to help us keep the doors open? Oh, the humanity!

Opera is the only browser on the mac that does full screen…which I miss sorely being an ex-Window power user.
Any news on the 64-bit version?
