I've been using Opera for about a year now. I am totally addicted to some features of the web browser.

- Tabbed browsing is excellent. I can have 20 windows open and not clutter up my task bar. I can open links as tabs in the background and cycle through them as I please. When I start the application, it re-loads the set of windows I left off with the last time I was browsing.

- Mouse gestures are addictive. Right button with the following: drag left for back, on a link and wiggle down-up to open in background, drag in a checkmark (down then right) to close window. Lots of others.

- Great keyboard shortcuts

- Fast. Opera fast. Mozilla slow.

- Misc: save window sets, links window shows you all links in page, zoom in or out on page.
