Opera 10.5 for Mac hits beta, goes Cocoa, and adds multitouch
Sure, Opera 10.5 has also got issues, like any beta. Current quirks include potential freezes on page load (although I didn't run into any of those) and some problems with the newly-added Opera Widgets feature. On the other hand, other crash bugs have been fixed, and Opera feels fast as heck. If you've been thinking about trying it out on your Mac, I recommend you take this new beta out for a test drive.

Opera is a decent browser, but until they allow proper integration with 1password, i'll pass.

I agree, they need it, I use 1Password on Camino, Firefox, Safari, and Chrome, and it sucks to not have it on Opera

I did try it out, and its performance was abysmal — mouse clicks took most of a second to take effect, and every window except the main browser window failed to draw any controls (except the titlebar and default button) until hovered over or tabbed to. Even then, things like field labels remained invisible unless you were in a tabbed view, where switching tabs will redraw everything.
This is alpha software, not beta. Kind of a shame too, since it *sounds* really nice, and Safari's never really had any credible competition on OS X.

do they offer "ad block" or anything similar?

Yes, right click on a page and then click "Block Content".

Opera is a terrible browser. It's worse than Internet Explorer for handling of CSS.

Hah. lawls. Opera _is_ CSS. Lookitup.

Opera kicks ass. It's my main browser on Windows and Linux, and my 3rd choice on OS X behind Safari, and Camino. The syncing feature works well too for bookmarks and notes.
