arstechinicaに『Opera to finally get some design love from the Mac side』とあり、
Admittedly, there aren't a lot of people who love Opera for the Mac. I have always been a closet fan (in fact, I have it installed on all of my Macs), although I don't use it every day. More often than not, Mac fans criticize the browser for its odd UI quirks—particularly on the Mac. That could be changing, however, as Opera is about to get some much-needed attention in the realm of design.
Opera has decided to bring on designer Jon Hicks to help give the browser a little bit of a makeover. Starting at the end of October, Hicks will be filling the role of senior designer at Opera, where he will work on Opera's desktop browser, as well as Widgets and Mobile/Mini browsers. He wrote on his blog this morning that he hopes to be able to implement some ideas he has for the logo and branding as well. For those of you unfamiliar with Hicks' previous work, he is responsible for the logos and branding for Firefox and Thunderbird.
AOもOperaを長年使っている一人ですが、Operaのブラウザーとしての実力、ポテンシャルはかなり高いのですが、デザインイメージで数歩遅れているように見られてしまうと想像しています。もしデザインが本格的に洗練されれば、十分に勝負できるはずで〜す。
期待してま〜す

ですから現状では日本語サイトは主にFF3、英語サイトはOpera5でネット世界を飛び回っています。
さらにもう一つ加えるとなると、残るはWine-Safariあたりかなぁと...
まあ、そこまでは必要はないでしょう
ミニノート戦国時代、今後が楽しみで〜す
。昔のOperaやSafariを思い出しました。まだMacOS版がありませんから徹底的には試しませんが、早く試したいなぁと... ブラウザー大好きマニアのAO、昔からいろいろと使って来ましたが、Chromeのような新鮮さとタイムスリップしたような感じは大好きではあります。今後に期待でしょうか。
しかし、Googleに対する期待度の大きさ、改めて実感しました。
