Opera 9 Beta 2
Nothing, but nothing will convince me that Firefox is better than Opera. Opera was around before Firefox hit the market, and has been a lighter, faster and more efficient browser than firefox from the get-go. It also doesn't require clunky plugins to get any decent functionality.
The latest version includes bittorrent support, customisable inline address bar searching (type g fred and you get a google search on fred). You can add any search engine, dictionary, download site or wikipedia you wish. Since version 8.5, it has come with voice support (you can control the browser by voice). And now, it has Ajax-based widgets (for time, rss feeds, weather, sport scores, etc etc).
And, since version 8.0, it has been completely free.
Opera is also pushing the boundaries of mobile browsers. Its delivered a series of browsers for pda's and phones - browsers with real functionality (not the IE bastard child). Oh, and for you l337 h@ck3r dudes... its available for most flavours of unix/linux as well. And for you art student, you can get it on Mac.
