I'm using mozilla-0.9.4-2 mostly. I like galeon more, but it still needs
a little more work to reach enough stability. The thing I dislike most
about it is that it requires mozilla to be installed in order to run,
and it gets changed with almost all upgrades of mozilla. Galeon needs
mozilla and complains if you try upgrading mozilla with an older galeon.

I haven't tried opera 5.05 yet and probably won't. I'm almost satisfied
with mozilla and will be in a state of happy-happy-joy-joy when galeon
finally gets a few more things going. I get far fewer crashes with
almost anything other than netscape-4.X and don't care much for the
overhead of netscape-6.X even though 6.1 improved speed over 6.0 and
looks like mozilla with a different titlebar name.

It all comes down to personal taste and what one is willing to live with
(missing features, extra features, frequent/infrequent crashes, memory &
cpu usage, etc).
