I used to be a diehard Opera fan, and thought that Firebird was the redheaded stepchild. Then I actually tried it, and found that with a bit of time spent configuring it, it's actually better IMO - just as fast, if not faster, and much more extensible and configurable. The fact that it's open source, as well as the philosophical aspects, means there's a lot more you can do with it. I've also found that (the linux version at least) renders pages a little better than Opera does.
OO is also pretty fucking wicked for a free product, although yes M$ is doing it's best to fuck it (as you'd expect). You also don't have Bill Gates looking over your shoulder the whole time. :-P
