So normally the browser wars consist of IE vs. Firefox or IE vs. Safari. While I personally don't see any positive benefit in IE over any other browser, and find many negatives as I reprogram specifically for IE all the time, I get that people like IE and many people don't like change. Fine.

Recently Opera released version 10 and I've installed it on my home mac and my work mac (which is an old PowerPC MacBook that was upgraded to 10.3 a long time ago) and it's got some nice features. For a while now it's seemed like many browsers steal ideas from Opera (even Google Chrome *gasp*). So is Opera really the way I should be going?

At work I've been using Google Chrome exclusively on my work PC. Firefox is my backup and Safari after that. I only break out the IE 7 when I have to see what's wrong with the world. A few weeks ago Google Chrome released an extremely early (pre-beta) version of Chrome for Mac. It had a ruff start but it was very pre-beta and since has had several updates which has made significant improvements to getting it to the PC version's usability. On Mac I've remained a loyal Firefox user until now. So should I consider switching?

So what always seemed a IE, Safari or Firefox debate (for the last few years at least), now may have 2 new players added to the argument. Yes, I know Opera isn't new, but it seems like it's not brought into the debate that often. The 2 new guys also come from very different organizations, Google the giant and small, quiet Opera Software.

So what do you think? Should we be including either of these 2 when we talk about browsers and PowerSchool? Do you like the fact that Opera has a "in memory of" piece in their "About" page? Should we set up a poll to take a vote? Did I miss any browsers?
