Sorry if I seemed persuasive, but I just don't want to get into conflicts.

Epiphany, Chrome, Opera/Firefox (tie)

Among Web browsers, Mozilla Firefox had the largest percentage of Web vulnerabilities, followed by Apple Safari, whose browser showed a vast increase in exploits, due to vulnerabilities reported in the Safari iPhone browser:

Been a Opera user since version 2x and continue to do so now. I try out other browsers from time to time but somehow Opera's interface appeals to me the most, not to mention its real world speed.

Mostly chromium these days. Minimal interface, faster than firefox (not just for browsing but it starts up *much* faster, too) and it has the extensions I want.

Someone dug this old thread up just to re start this argument?

Hey All,
First of all, HI. I am a newly ubuntu converted "Windows guy." I've been using Opera for the past 3 years now on Windows and found that it is the best browser out there! I am no tech geek, so probably I may be wrong, in which case my apologies...

As soon as I converted to Ubuntu, I downloaded Opera and here are somethings that I found it to be lacking on ubuntu when compared to windows -

The sync is not as elegant as it was on windows.
Speed Dial - I have the large speed dial setting on my browser and this in ubuntu cuts off some boundaries. Not that I am complaining but I could not help notice it.
Some webpages like YouTube which rely heavily on Flash are slower when compared to on Windows. And I observed this only on ubuntu.
CPU usage - This is not exactly a problem as ubuntu is not that heavy on cpu as windows is, but again I could not help it!

Other than this, I would prefer Opera to anyother browser anytime... Anyway this is my 2 cents!
