Why I choose the Opera browser

I was motivated by an interview conducted on TV Morning news by Paul Henry when an IT expert was invited to talk about it. My curiosity was roused so I downloaded it to have a good explore. My current browser was Mozilla which is good but it appears that this browser has a lot more user friendly features that interest me.
