There’s a new version (6.0) of the Opera browser out, for Win32 at least. It’s sporting an updated interface which allows for multiple windows in addition to the old MDI interface, if you like that. I’ve noticed some slow downs for no good reason, and some layout strangeness, but overall it’s still pretty good. If you’re looking for a faster, fairly standards-compliant alternative to Netscape 4.x or IE, it’s worth a look. I’ve only used it on Windows, but Mac and Linux versions are also available (not sure what version levels are available on those platforms).
But at the same time Mozilla is still doing well, though there’s been some minor setbacks lately. They’ve added a tabbed interface option that works fairly well and some recent improvements to performance (long overdue). At work, I use all three, depending on the situation.
