I think the title of fastest now belongs to Firefox 3.1 beta, and though I initially poo-poo'd Opera's internal bittorrent client, I've found that I rely on it in more cases than not when I'm on various operating systems.
Also, spell checking is NOT built-in, it requires a separate installation of GNU's aspell.
I think the title of fastest now belongs to Firefox 3.1 beta I've installed Firefox 3 in Windows at work, OS X at work and OS X at home. I still can't stand to use it. I haven't seen any comparisons since Firefox 3 came out. The last numbers I saw for Javascript comparison was under Firefox 2, which was slower than IE!
I initially poo-poo'd Opera's internal bittorrent client, I've found that I rely on it in more cases than not when I'm on various operating systems. It'll do in a pinch, particularly cross-platform. I'm found of Tomato, but would not be entirety opposed to using Opera for this purpose.
Before Gmail debuted, I used Opera for my SMTP client (and loved it).

Nevertheless, aspell is a bitch to get set up correctly. Not on GNU boxes.
And on the Opera site, you won't. I linked to Coding Horror.

I was simply disagreeing with your statement. Was that the purpose of your aspell argument?
Not on GNU boxes. It tooke me forever, but I got it set up on Ubuntu once. It wasn't the matter of getting aspell installed, it was getting it to work with Opera. I gave up trying to get it to work correctly on OS X.

You're making some kind of overtly subtle point that is so subtle, it's undetectable. And you're being grossly vulgar with your avatar choices.
