Its been pretty popular with security conscious people for a while.

If it has features you are looking for, or you want to be more secure due to a lot of the press around java lately, it will do very nicely.

I've used it, but I found it eminently annoying. It requires a lot of work on the user's end; I found myself being blocked out of a lot of sites because of one or two settings I messed up.

I used it from time to time when I used to use Firefox.
