Not my pair of shoes. To me Opera remains closed-source [which is not
what I liked migrating to open source systems years ago]. From the pure
practical, not ideological reasons I'd say it's not quite customizable
[it doesn't have any plugin/addon system], its e-mail client is
something beyond my comprehension, and it's been picky about the sites I
was visiting [it doesn't like certain websites, so it just doesn't load
them properly]. I won't even mention "Turbo" and other features, that
are in fact security threats to the end users [some of the traffic, if
not all of it, comes through Opera servers, which is not ok to me].
Of course, it doesn't change the fact that it's fast ... but for what price?
