The Problem With Opera: It Tries To Scream When It Just Needs To Sing

Opera has always been a bit of a curiosity to me. Nearly everyone seems to tout its speed and adherence to web standards -- and yet, no one seems to use it. Well, at least not in the United States anyway, and really not that many people worldwide either. Why is that? Today, Opera announced a new version (10.52) available for OS X. The promise is that it's ten times faster than the last version I used (10.10). In fact, they're saying it's the "world's fastest browser for Mac." So I decided to try it out as my primary browser the entire morning.
