I've been a purchaser and more-or-less supporter for Opera since 1997 or so. Up until MSIE 5.0, the Netscape technologies were superior, with Opera a close contender. Since then, inertia keeps me on MSIE 6.0, but I'm getting used to Mozilla 1.4 alpha with its bayesian-based spam controls for both home and eventually office use. Drowning in spam every morning and evening is not my idea of relaxation.
