I'm running Opera - I like the mouse gestures, and it's light-weight enough to not completely gimp my computer's performance. Sometimes it crashes, sometimes I have to manually end its thread(s) by visiting the Task Manager, and okay, I have to open IE7 to play Netflix movies, but other than that, it's been pretty good to me.
The only thing that annoyed the piss out of me is that I don't have control over everything the mouse does. I was trying to disable how it switches pages (either when you hold down the left button and press the right, or when you hold down either and move the scroll wheel, I can't remember) and it wasn't cooperating.
I do like, however, the fact that it can preserve my long, pointless rants in a text box if I accidentally hit "Back" or submit the post only to be brought to an error page. It's also very handy to be able to hit Ctrl-Z when you want to re-open a webpage you either accidentally closed or decided that you'll need it really quick again after all.
Oh, I also like being able to hit Alt+right-arrow to go forward a page in a thread. It's pretty neat for message board junkies like me.
