I downloaded Opera 6.04 about a week ago and I use it at home and @ work. I have found it to be faster than IE 5x/6 and Netscape 4/5/6. I think I have found my new browser of choice. I especially like the no pop up window feature, just kills 'em. I wish there was a way you can specify the temp internet file location like you can in IE. But other than that, IMO, this browser rocks!
 
I never got used to it, i use MSIE6. Opera's interface was really different from MSIE and Opera's interface annoyed me. With the speedguide web tweak registry patch, MSIE is equally fast.

Here are the patches:
SpeedGuide Web Patch - Windows 95/98/98SE/ME
SpeedGuide_2k Web Patch (12/18/01) - Windows XP/2000
I think these work with other browsers too, not just MSIE. Also, this has minimal effect on dial-up modems.
