Any opinions of Icedragon/Dragon browsers?

To be frank, I've tried those "alternate" versions of the big browsers and never been terribly impressed. While they might offer features that some people want, I much prefer the resources of Google/Mozilla being used to develop a mainstream browser for what I do. It's not like I'm a niche-user, and there are always extensions if there really is some functionality I need to add.
Remember that these offshoots do not go through the same testing and such as the normal "public" branch.

I can understand that. One "benefit" has been that in the case of PM, they're a few releases behind - and thus still have the "old" look.

I just run the beta channel for Chrome and am done with it lol
The only alternative browser I'd use is WaterFox.
After reading this thread a few weeks ago I downloaded Icedragon.I had never heard of them before but I figured I would give them a shot.
So far I am fairly impressed with it.Seems quick while surfing almost as quick as Opera.Has not crashed like Internet Exploder in this time period.So far so good.I've had it warn me about a couple of bad sites while surfing.So I think it may replace Opera as my usual browser since they Googled themselves.
My little bit of experience says give them a try.
