I wonder how this speed comparison would look like on Linux and MacOS. Interestingly, in Opera’s (software) renderer hardly drops below 10fps with 100 fishes on my 3 years old MacBook.

I’d like to add that Opera has never been targeted at the Pwn2Own contest. Thus, only the very low number of security advisories over time and the vendor’s fast reaction time hint at a presumably high security level.

Also, Opera does “have an option to check a database of known malicious sites”: http://www.opera.com/browser/tutorials/security/fraud/

Also, I don’t think that the Windows version of Safari has any way of running them either.

That being said, excellent article – very thorough and comprehensive.
