Opera Dominates CNET Survey of "Underdog" Web Browsers

An anonymous reader writes "Whether you consider Opera an underdog browser or not, it came out on top in a feature on CNet this weekend. It was up against 'underdog Web browsers' Camino, K-Meleon, Shiira and Arora in a piece loosely aimed at determining whether these browsers are yet ready to steal significant numbers of users from Firefox, Safari, IE etc. Interesting most to me, however, is that it transpires that Shiira, the Mac browser from Japan, is one of the fastest browsers on the planet, beating the original Chrome v1.0, Firefox 3.5 and more in its benchmark tests."

That may be relevant when discussing IE but when the comparison is Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, etc there's really no irresponsible option and it comes down to preference.
LOL @ Safari and no irresponsible option in the same phrase. Damn apple is good at marketing.
