well, Opera and Firefox are clearly better than IE, but between Opera and Firefox, it is really just a matter of personal preference. I prefer Opera because it not only has a faster *raw speed* (meaning page-rendering) but also it generally makes web surfing more efficient and faster by all of the convenient features it has, like wand, and M2, etc. etc. etc. Also, you can find MUCH better support for this on the Opera forums. people there truly know their stuff and will give you hard facts and proof that prove Opera to be the fastest. look for guys like non-troppo and stuff.
