Reality - "Oops. We recently introduced a bug into the counter and it's being fixed. We're not quite there yet. Sorry for the confusion. We accidentally counted the 20 million people who updated from Firefox 1.5 to Firefox 1.5.0.1 this week."

As main browser - weekly builds of opera desktop team ( now UNIX 1997 )
As second browser - Fedora Core(s) basic browser Firefox (now 2.0.0.14)

Both are good browsers, but I prefer Opera for its quickness, faster start-up(on my pc), and (subjective) better UI.

for example - Web Page Rendering this myth is rly dependent on actual versions of browsers, sites, which have to be rendered, random plugins ( bad js,flash,japplet,php errs...) and so on.

None of these browser can render every page on internet, because not every page is made with using standars, best practises, or just contains errors, that cause bad render.
