...i missed one thing. it may not seem import to the most, but if you talk about the userinterface you have to mention opera's mouse gestures. when a friend introduced me to opera a couple of years ago they were simply stunning. i felt like in a game or sci-fi movie flipping through the pages and opening links in a background tab (extremely useful for google research) with just a simple stroke of the hand. i'm aware of the fact that the is a extension for firefox which offers gestures, but its not just the same. i use opera all the day and have recommended it to several friends now, but some of them didn't discover mouse gestures yet or they were confused by them (which i can't understand). Opera should be given credit for inventig such a cool timesaving feature.
