In Linux/BSD I usually use Konqueror. Why? It loads really quick, it does 
everything I want now that it supports mouse gestures. I don't hear too much 
about that from any Opera users but mouse gestures to me is worth a ton of 
minor annoyances that Opera has had, most of which are now configurable 
anyways. Mouse gestures are so much quicker than even simple/common keyboard 
shortcuts, especially when you are say, reading and scrolling down with one 
hand and then say holding a beer in your other hand. Konqueror has great 
integration with my desktop and the mplayer plugin works great. 99% or more 
of sites I go to, Konqueror renders just fine. In my situation, why use 
anything else? I use Firefox and Opera when using a MS run computer.
