Why Do I Use Opera?

Opera’s browser is great–has been for years. I prefer Opera over other browsers mainly because of the following features (in no particular order):

• web standards (I design/create/test a website on Opera first, and only then “fix” IE oddities)
• tabs (like other browsers these days–but Opera has had them for years)
• speed (it renders pages fast)
• security (it’s not IE — need I say more?)
• customisable (configure just about anything)
• content blocking (ads? what ads?)
• lightweight/small memory footprint (the usual 40+ open tabs seemingly do not affect my computer’s performance)
• if Opera (or Windows) crashes, it’ll start up with all my tabs in place
• M2 email client
• personalised search engine shortcuts (accessible from the address bar)
• mouse gestures
• trash can (deleted a tab that you still need? no problem, just look in the trash can)
• Opera’s innovative crew — frequently miles ahead of other browser manufacturers
• great UI sets made by dedicated people (thanks Moose!)
