Apart from email, web browsing is probably the primary activity for most computer users. We use our web browser to surf the web, read blog posts, check the latest news and download files. Therefore we're quite particular about the speed of our browser, usability, how we can configure the user-interface and more. This is why modern and regularly updated web browsers such as Firefox and Opera have become really popular.

Opera 9.5 Preview 1 is the first release of the forthcoming major update to the web browser. We tested this early preview and it's already looking superb. The performance is the best of any browser we've used, it was very stable and the Mac OS X version ships with a much-improved user interface that looks like a proper OS X interface.
