Phoenix is OK, it's a stripped down version of mozilla.

Opera is peppy but I hate that the default config is to spoof the HTTP_USER_AGENT header ('identify as MSIE 5.0') . Every week we get customer support email from Opera users wondering why our dhtml menus and stuff don't work for them. The menus work fine when the Opera browser identifies itself as being Opera.

I also think that Opera has made it too easy to get into the advanced preferences. Advanced preferences should be for advanced users. We've had support email from people that had managed to turn off Opera's ability to automatically follow 'Location:' redirect headers. sheesh, the first time one of those came in it took ages to figure it out.
