The habit of surfers to have many browsers is more likely higher than those whose stick to one..

As far as i know , google, opera, firefox, safari, maxathon, etc..

not exactly sure which part contributed the extra performance in v4 vs v3.

but it seems many users prefer v4 due to that.

i think the menu bar is not more and collapsed into a button instead.

Opera v10 is doing the other way round: by default, the menu bar is there, but u can turn it off into a button (to mimic Chrome).

most users want to 'move' the menu bar off, so that they can have more viewing screen size (especially on netbooks).

v4.x is now on Dev(elopment) channel, that means it's heavily in development, contains lots of possible bugs, etc. etc.

using Dev release is recommended for trial use only.
