And I'd never even heard of it.  I notice the very first comment on
that article was what I'd come to say.

How can Internet Explorer be a viable alternative when it requires a
public announcement from the Department of Homeland Security advising
users not to use Internet Explorer for Microsoft to come up with a fix
for yet another serious security flaw?

"Friends don't let friends use Internet Explorer."

I'm actually a pretty happy Opera user since about 2000 or 2001 when a
friend introduced me to it.  I've never understood why it consistently
has such a low install base, but it's my go-to browser 9 times out of
10 (that last 10% is on Mac, where lately Opera has been a bit funky -
might be my OS that's the culprit).   When I first installed Linux and
was learning how to add packages (SuSE 7.1, so RPM), finding an RPM
package for opera sealed the deal for me on this alternative OS.  

I'm hard pressed to see much innovation in browser UIs these days, and
maybe that's a good thing - seems like all recent UI innovation has
made things worse, not better.
