  says a study.
  
  To sum it up...
  IQ 1-70 - mental retardation
  80 - IE users
  100 (average) - Chrome, Firefox, Safari users
  120 (above average) - Opera and Camino

  I use the Big 3. Chrome, Opera, and Firefox. So not sure where I stand there.

  Is Opera that good?
  
  I thought Chrome was like one of the best.

  Opera was one of the first browsers to bring Tabbed Browsing. It goes WAY back. I wouldn't call it just a browsers, more like an internet suite. It has POP3/IMAP email, note-taking, aggregated feed reader, extensions, widgets, notable features such as mouse gestures and high customization (make your own theme, toolbar, buttons, etc). I tend to use Opera now and then, but I love Chrome's speed and minimal interface. FireFox is the best for watching videos and the best at blocking ads, especially video ads.

  It isn't about how good the browser is.
  The study was to take a bunch of samples from different IQ ranges and ask them what their browser is. Hawking could be using netscape for all we know.
  
  
  I'm 143 from my college's IQ test and I use chrome, yay for breaking statistics.

  ^ Opera works faster than Firefox for me, though. And I've never tried Chrome.
  I'd say Opera is one of the best.

  I tend to go both ways on that one. Sometimes I feel that FireFox might be faster, but that required going to About:Config and changing the network configurations, like max connections per server and enabling persistent connections and even adding new configurations. Opera and Chrome worked fast out of the box, but this topic isn't about browser speed. That would start some arguments with tech-geeks. I agree though that Opera is one of the best and I've been with that browser since Opera 9-ish?

  I should mess with Firefox's setting sometime, then D: it's really slow for me.
  
  But aye, sorry to go off-topic~
