Only problem I find with Opera is that although it's fully standards
compliant (?) there's still a lot of pages that don't show up dead
accurate.
K-Meleon (www.kmeleon.org) is good if you use Windows, really
lightweight but lacking some features like cookies etc....Galeon is the
Linux version of K-Meleon, it's fast, small (coupla megs) and standards
compliant !!

Only thing with Galeon I find a bit of a pain is it tries to mask some
of the URL info when you're browsing...but that's my only problem with
it - great otherwise !

Anyway, that's my $0.02 worth.
