As a longstanding Opera user, I have to disagree with the last two statements here. That's 'Opening links in Tabs' and 'Leeching files'.

Both can be done very well with Opera. In fact, I've tried finding a good Firefox plug-in that does the same, but find Opera's handling far better.

The trick: In Opera, open the 'Links'-panel (with F4). This lists all links and downloadable files in the current page. Select the files/links you want. (you can even refine what links/files to show by name). Now, for links rightclick and select 'Open in new tab', and for files rightclick and select 'Fast Download'.

BTW, by default this list is single-click, which means one click doesn't select, but 'use' that option. Normal operation is possible, but this requires setting an option in 'Opera:config'.
