i'll probably go back to opera when i'm sure it's not so flakey anymore. they drove me away for the first time in several years.
waiting for lastpass........ until then, not interested. i keep opera installed for the turbo function when i'm using my cell phone tethered, but otherwise i dont use it.
I'm a fan of Opera. Not enough to run the betas, but I keep the stable version updated. Firefox is still my primary browser, but Opera comes in second. The only thing I use Chrome for is incognito mode which I have it permanently set to, and for testing. IE is only used for MS sites. It seems to work better than other browsers, and I don't want to install the ActiveX plugin just for MS. That's one less security risk I have to worry about.
I think Chrome sets the whole browser as incognito. It's been awhile since I've run it manually. I have it set to start in incognito through a switch. It's good for BS stuff where I don't want cookies set or something. I generally use it for "AT Effect" threads in OT where someone wants you to vote for their particular contest :^D
Opera actually allows you to open either single tabs or the whole browser as incognito/private.I think Chrome sets the whole browser as incognito. It's been awhile since I've run it manually.

You are in luck, then. Just saw this on Twitter:waiting for lastpass........ until then, not interested. i keep opera installed for the turbo function when i'm using my cell phone tethered, but otherwise i dont use it.

Theres been a snapshot with extensions usable up for a while actually. I like it. It finally allows integration in a simpler fashion.
For instance LastPass (as was mentioned earlier) will most likely be making an extension but Roboform showed it was possible in the earlier iterations as well just not in a simple "app store" style setup.
I think the extensions are cool but I can't honestly think of much that Opera doesn't already have. Maybe they can get XUL support through an extension to get your scripts working pcslookout
For me it is Firefox first (I like the addons and have them pretty well set as I need), then Opera (opens nice and fast) but even though it has AdBlock, for me it is hard to use and does not work as well as in Firefox. Some pages do not render properly in Opera. Then IE8 which work ok, except for ad blocking. I even tried Ad Block Pro for IE (30 day trial) and I could not get it set up properly to ad block what I wanted to.
I won't have the chance to try IE9 at home as it will not run on XP. But I am interested in seeing how Firefox and Opera handle HTML5, which may at some point, eliminate the need for Adobe Flash and Sun Java. Properly done, web pages should render properly in any browser on that becomes widespread.
