I think that for 90% of web browsing this is going to be true. The reason for this is that Safari is designed to run only properly coded web sites. A good amount of the "bloat" of the Firefox or the IE browsers has to do with code designed to deal with "sloppy" programming of sites. Hence, there are some sites that don't run properly under Opera.

It's interesting if you've ever worked with an Open Source program like Joomla or Drupal that a lot of the extensions to these programs usually have a section called "Safari compatibility" because of this issue.
