Same here actually. Firefox 3 has really improved on their performance which was one of my biggest complaints. I find myself using it as my primary browser these days, but I still have Opera on the sidelines.

That way I was able to emulate IE in Opera9.5b2 for my biggest Opera problem site, Y!Mail. It worked well (neglecting that I was running two browsers recourse-wise). The biggest annoyance was if I clicked a post on the built-in RSS reader, a new IE window popped up. Overall it's a bit of a hassle. I've really been drifting towards Fx lately.

Safari support isn't that big of a deal since it will obviously only work with the Windows version, and Firefox users already have IE Tab. Lashiec wrote:

IEtab is ok with 9.2 latest versions, but not with 9.5 ones. It needs to be fixed, regarding kestrel. It’s a bug to fix in the plug-in, as long as I know from Opera community.

That would be awesome, but I don’t think we’ll be seeing that for quite some time. ;)
