Opera 9.0 (8.5 too)
I really like Opera 9.0, much better than Safari. What I don't like about is the Wand password manager. OK, I guess it is fine, but, I have not figured out how to retrieve the password should when I need for another app or just want to know what the password is.
At least with the keychain, passwords can be retrieved.
Does anyone know how to retrieve the password from Opera? It seems the password button in the preferences tells which sites you have stored passwords for, but not the passwprd itself.

The reason I have begun using Opera, is because I cannot get Safari to work with CitiBank's business website. I can't get Firefox to work with weather.com. I really want to use Safari, but it will occasionally not dispplay sites correctly.
Opera is the only browser that works with everything I am doing, just hate the wand.

It would seem that you have some local issues. Firefox works fine with Weather.com as does Safari. I don't use Citibank's Internet banking feature, so that I cannot test that site.
Camino Browser for Mac OS X
I tend to use the 'test' or 'nightly' build versions - I enjoy living on the bleeding edge !
I don't like the feel of Firefox at all but I do like camino.
Plus, I am getting tired of broshed metal. Appearently so is Apple, but for some reason safari still uses it.
Opera really is a nice browser, like searching without opening a new window, but I don't like its password manager.

Both firefox and camino have big question marks where quicktime plugins should be running.

Could you share a site I could try, one with the question marks you described? I haven't observed that, but I'm running Camino Version 2005111304 (1.0b1+)? I went to this "Quick Time Plugin Test" site with my version of Camino and it worked? Here's the site I went to: Quick Time Plugin Test

I saw that too, so I googled it and this is what I came up with: Opera 9.0 Preview 1

Defintely NOT a typo, but now I'm curious - I'm totally content with Camino, but when something 'new' comes along, it's like an electro-magnet for me, I just "have" to check it out, you know ?

It's definetly much much faster at loading and rendering. I've noticed a few quircks so far, but not too bad. I like it.
Same here, a 'few' quirks, but nothing I can't live with, so far 8). The 'wand' takes a little getting used to, which is what I believe "pbaker05" was originally referring to, but I adapted to it rather easily. The other really nice feature I like initially is the 'trash can!' I don't know about you, but on occasion, I have 'accidentally' closed a tab not intending to, Opera places it in the trash can for easy retrieval, very nice feature I think?! Of course, I suppose I could train myself to NOT accidentally close a tab \, as if that's going to happen ? Here's what my "About Opera" shows:
Version 9.0 \t
Build\t3104 \t
Platform MacOS X \t
System\t10.4.3
Oh! I like it too! Will have to 'play' with it some more before deciding if it will become my 'browser' of choice, replacing Camino, which doesn't have the quirks, and that I like a lot?!?

Well, I have Safari, Omniweb, Firefox, Opera, Netscape, Mozilla, and Camino. I don't know which one to use on a daily basis anymore!
Hmm, I didn't see "iCab" in that list *ROTFL?!?* I had settled on "Camino," until I ran across this thread today \. Depending on the quirks and whether Opera works with my online banking or not, I will probably stay with "Camino," but I'm still 'testing' Opera, having said that though, this is a "preview" release?

For me, it would be nice if the damn spell checker actually worked properly; 8.50, the whole thing is buggerised, hence the reason I'm still with Safari, and I occasionally flirt with Camino - which seems to be improving rapidly.

iCab sucks! That's a HORRIBLE browser, dude!

The answer is "Shiira".
