Thats really great, but I find myself saying what Firefox users said before about Chrome: I stay with Chrome because Opera dont provide extensions or add-ons like Adblocker and WOT. Opera got the lead on speed, but is still behind on options. Anyway, kudos for raising the bar on performance.

but it does have an adblocker. and someone made a userscript version of WOT.

Opera behind on options?
Opera has a built-in Adblock, CSS applier (like Stylish for Firefox), IRC client, Mail client, JS runner, a hugely better Download client which also supports BitTorrent, Cookie editor, Browser identification spoofer etc.
And it has Opera Unite. :p Opera just doesn't need extensions.

I forgot about Opera Link which lets me synchronize my bookmarks between my computer and mobile. :)
Opera Turbo can be used on slower connections AND also act as a soft proxy.
Lastly, you don't have to install any add-on to disable loading of images.

@Joker:
That's exactly the problem. I don't want all that shit in my web browser when I have much better external programs for that. Let me customize Opera more and get rid of all the extra unnecessary functions, while giving me thousands upon thousands free add-ons and I'd choose Opera over any other browser.
Until then, Firefox and Chrome are my choices.

@Aemony
you're assuming that all these functions you deem unnecessary slow the browser. it really doesn't. how else would it speed past chrome?
and it's not like you're being forced to use any of them. they're all hidden away as well. sometimes a tad too hidden, like the userscript & css support.
