I prefer the way Opera renders text, especially if itвЂ™s to be copied and pasted into a text editor, to most other browsers.

It also has far and away the best download manager of any browser IвЂ™ve ever used, with a pause and resume feature that works dependably. It is sluggish to start up, but thatвЂ™s mitigated somewhat by its having the best, no-hassle session resume support of any Mac browser. Personally, I find it among the fastest browsers at any given time, both on my Tiger and Leopard machines. I use a lot of browsers, and Opera is my overall favorite for general surfing. He described Opera as slow to start up, slow to load pages, and the only browser not to render his website home page properly вЂ“ and subjectively as having вЂњone of the ugliest user interfaces I have seen in a long time it looks very dated.вЂќ

Simon looked at Opera 9.5.2 on his 400 MHz Pismo PowerBook G3, which he rated as having come a long way in the past year, but still way behind its competitors. While I no longer have any G3 machines in active service, my wife is still using a 700 MHz iBook G3 running Mac OSВ X 10.4.11 Tiger, and I have two old Pismo PowerBooks in production and road warrior service, both with 550 MHz G4 processor upgrades and also running 10.4.11.Д®ven my main production workhorse, a 1.33 GHz 17вЂі PowerBook G4, is a not exactly springвЂ™s chicken, but it runs Mac OSВ X 10.5 Leopard.Д«eing something of a browser-follower, I enjoyed reading SimonвЂ™s article, but I was interested at how much his impressions and experiences deviated from my own, given that weвЂ™re using somewhat similar hardware and the same OS version. Last week fellow Low End Mac columnist Simon Royal posted a feature comparing nine Web browsers in the context of use on G3 and older G4 Macs.
