While I agree that Opera is a cool (in fact the coolest) browser and provided many innovations bashing IE developers is out of place. IE also gave many innovations to the web world for example it was the first browser to support CSS, invented the iframe (which may be frowned upon but is important and useful part of the web), was the first browser to separate tabs in processes and most importantly was the browser that introduced AJAX.

I have been a big fan of Opera yet I haven’t used it extensively, primarily because many websites have poor support for Opera.

But I can add one feature which got me introduced to Opera.

Turn off Image downloads :- back in 1998-1999 I was connecting to internet using 14.4kbps modem from a third world country. Browsing was very slow because of image rich websites, through a magazine I found that Opera had this feature that you could turn off image downloads and keep the view of the webpage as if the images were being displayed. Secondly you could pick and choose which images to download by clicking on them.

This was a such fantastic feature that for the next 2-3 years I used Opera extensively but as time passed I had trouble with many websites being incorrectly displayed in Opera, at that time I blamed Opera for their laziness but now I realize that its the job of the website developer to make sure that the website is compatible with a certain browser.

Another feature which is far superior to the other browsers is the Wand for password management. (It still needs some improvement) but I still use Opera for this feature.

Now on my winmobile device, I only use Opera and love it.
