Opera is the best. It's the fastest, most secure, and most configurable browser I've ever used. That, and it's got a relatively low footprint so it's the best option for lower memory machines. I'm running XP on 384MB of RAM, so I need to keep my overhead as low as possible. The built in torrent options are awesome as well.
I don't use mouse gestures at all, but they're interesting.
FireFox is pretty awesome if you don't mind a slow browser with serious memory leaks. There is no fucking reason why a browser with four or five tabs open should take up 160MB of RAM or more.
With Opera, does anyone know why when I middle click on a bookmark, it doesn't open on a new tab?
I've read the readme/help pages, and it's just not working. I've set 'Middle Clicking options' to 'Open in new background tab'.
I know about the "Reuse Tab" feature, but I'd rather have the bookmarks control like Firefox, and have the Bookmark open on a new tab with middle clicking.

so is there any way to set up a bookmark toolbar across the top like you can in firefox?
and how about setting up live bookmarks instead of just rss feeds in the built-in aggregator?

hold down right mouse button and flick your wrist to the left to go back a page
flick right to go forward
I prefer the rocker gestures. Hold down the right button and click the left to go back. Hold left and click right to go forward.
Every mouse gestures extension for Firefox that I've ever used fucks this one up. In Opera, if you hold the right button and click the left button twice, you go back two pages. In Firefox, it only registers the first one, then you have to release the right button, and repeat the entire gesture. It sounds like a dumb complaint, but I'll sometimes decide I want to go back a dozen pages or so, and having to do it Firefox's dumb way gets super-annoying.

I've got a couple little buttons on the side of my mouse that do forward and back.
I wonder what lumberjacks would think of this conversation we're having about mouse gestures and not wanting to move a cursor 4 inches to click a back button.

having grown up in a town where all the industry was logging, I've learned that living your life to please lumberjacks only leads to mouth cancer, country music and GIT R DUN stickers on your pickup.

Once you clean up the toolbar, and get a good skin, Opera is the fucking shiznit.

Go read the first page of "Choke" by Chuck Palahnuik and report back with your findings.
I know Guts is the one where the kid gets prolapsed.
You can definitely set up A bookmark toolbar. All you have to do is drag a tab up to the toolbar and it becomes a button there.
I'm not sure what you mean by live bookmarks though.
