Otherwise, Opera has the best safety history of about 60 vulnerabilities since 1995, whereas IE has about 400 in that same time period. Firefox also has about 400 in the short time it has been around (4 years?) but because of the above addons, is much safer than IE. (Not to mention, actualy W3C standard...)

It's quicker and has less "bloat" than Firefox. I use FF on my school's website, but Opera otherwise. That's a VERY large % of "Unknown." Any idea why? It's a shame that more folks don't use Opera.
