Rijk's list compares Opera's built-in functionalities to Firefox's add-ons. Particularly handy for those coming to Opera from Firefox.

Thought it was impossible? Probably not. But as Pallab points out, finding out how may be difficult. Luckily he's brought together a LOT of helpful advanced customization sources here.

My blog for subjects other than Opera / web technologies. Give it a visit to explore the other corners of my noggin.

This (relatively) short article on why a site can work in Internet Explorer and not in other browsers, such as Opera or Firefox, should be prerequisite reading for anyone wanting to make a webpage.

This is a how-to site that I found (and still find) very useful for learning HTML and CSS

http://www.w3schools.com/default.asp

Although not to be confused with the W3C (see below), this how-to site is also quite useful. It provides most notably web-based interactive tools that you can use to grasp basic concepts quickly.

http://www.w3.org/

The W3C is, if you will, the "Governing Body" of website development. Sometimes difficult reading, but this is the source of all standards compliance.

http://validator.w3.org/

If you want your website to display correctly in all browsers, it needs to compliant to the standards established by the W3C. You can use this validator to test your HTML markup.

http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

Your CSS must also be valid to insure correct cross-platform display. Check it here.

This is a pretty handy useful-links site for those looking for web development specific sites.

As they say it themselves, "'For people who make websites', A List Apart Magazine (...) explores the design, development, and meaning of web content, with a special focus on web standards and best practices." Essential reading.
