Ah, Opera's OK, but I like Firefox better (also free, and I love the free plugins).

They haven't open-sourced it, but I thought you might be interested in some foreign freeware.

Just downloaded Opera to check it out.
It has a nice built-in voice feature. That is good for people with vision problems and people who like the computer to read to them, especially long news articles.
[I have another browser, Fastbrowser, that has that feature. It is a great eye-saver.]

OmniWeb or Safari are better.

Too bad Safari is Apple-only, because it is a great browser.

I just downloaded it. Now I've got to figure out what to do with it.
Now have IE, Firefox, and Opera.
Good thing I've got a big, big hard disk.

How does it handle misspelled words?

Thanks for the alert....may have to look at it again.

In a way, it's not Apple-only. The browser interface is, but the rendering engine, KHTML, is open source.
I've been using it for years under Linux.
