"opera has always competed against giants"

Yes, maybe Google and Microsoft are giants, but i fail to see the resemblance with firefox and mozilla.

"typical excuse of lack of extensions is no more"

This is not an excuse. Even browsers as proprietary as Chrome and Safari have seen the need of user customization. The three altogether still remain in the 'not customizable, but have add-ons' category. Opera developers finally saw this and offered to join the ride. Which is nice.

And don't guess, i use all browsers (Firefox to relax and browse for a long time, Chrome to do a quick check-up or search, and Opera for checking mails and work-related things. I use all that is best from all of them, and i have to say AdBlock for Firefox is still (and it will remain the) best, that is until Google changes it's politics, which will not happen in the near future. And yes, i am well aware that ads bring money to sites, but i would like to have the choice whether i want to sponsor that site by downloading a load of crap from it, or not, Downloadsquad is one my white-list for example. Firefox is the only browser which can be modeled to adapt to the user, not the other way around.
