I will give it a try. I have been having issues with massive loading times with Firefox 3 and I might as well use this time before I make a new PC build to experiment with Safari and Opera.

Runs ok for me and I have switched to this browser. Works on XP and Vista for me. I just like opening the internet and having my favorites right in front of me.

It does run faster than firefox. But the features and gizmos are really CPU hogs on my old rig.

I don't blame Apple. I have just put off updating for far too long and now my PC is just not cut out for the browsers of today.

When I update it will likely be MUCH faster.

The reason it runs faster is because it is a webkit browser like Google Chrome. Its faster but I still prefer Opera
