Opera? Fastest? Well, that's marketing.
But... Performance tests seem to back it up:

Opera is consistently in the upper end of most of the areas tested, so I guess their own marketing claims are generally justified.
(although Chrome is notably absent from that list. And if anything is going to be faster, it's probably Chrome.)
Too old test to indicate current speeds.
OT: I use firefox.
OK, more current test:

This is more difficult to work out, but the results haven't changed that much.
Chrome, is as I suspected, the fastest.
But overall, Opera appears to be second.
Safari actually comes in third it seems. (but it shares a codebase with Chrome, so that shouldn't be such a huge surprise either.)
Firefox is 4th, and internet explorer is last.
Nothing else seems to have been tested.
Feel free to look through it yourself, or find a different source, but the conclusion of a newer test seems pretty similar to the older one, allowing for the fact that the current fastest didn't exist when the older test was made.
