I love opera because it's the most feature complete, lightweight, fast, robust and standard's compliant browser out there :up:

Melvin 9. March 2009, 15:34

I love it's community and dedication to making our beloved browser even better!!!!

sirnh1 9. March 2009, 15:37

I love how customizable opera is, and that the browser has build in irc, mailclient, can download torrent files. It also has mouse gestures, speed dial,userjs and all of that without getting slower over time. Opera even has a great online community. All of that for free :hat:

Manoj 9. March 2009, 15:37

Dieu Anh Le Vu 9. March 2009, 15:41

I love Speed Dial, M2 and the speed :D

Phạm Hải Triều 9. March 2009, 15:42

I love Opera because Opera is fast, have speed dial, mail client, mouse gesture. The most important is that Opera don't need to install many things.
Would Opera intergrate a calendar in future?

Ajayneobump 9. March 2009, 15:42

Pfelelep 9. March 2009, 15:46

Well, there's actually two major things that makes OPERA my primary browser:
1/it's fast.
2/the INBUILT EMAIL CLIENT (MK2) which is easy to use, efficient and... inbuild.
Apart from that, many little stuff that makes my everyday browsing experience a pleasure. :up:

Joar Øygard 9. March 2009, 15:47

Mouse gestures. More specificly the forward/backward navigation abilities. Cant live without them.

Jen 9. March 2009, 15:47

Opera has given me a writing outlet for the first time in a long time, allowed me to meet some amazingly smart, witty, and interesting people, and has all the features to make my experience here one of ease and fun!

Love Opera. :heart: Thank God. it was on my phone when I got it. Such a lucky break! :D.

patkoscsaba 9. March 2009, 15:48

I love that I have lot of things in one place:
- browser
- mail client
- rss reader
- notes
- irc client
- well ... torrent client (even if I use another application for that P:)

Alexis 9. March 2009, 15:48

I love Opera because it's what smart people use. No smart person would use a browser with buggy add-ons and yet doesn't give the richest internet experience. And of course, Opera is the all-in-one solution to all my webhopping needs. :hat:

SIRAN M. YATES 9. March 2009, 15:48

i love everything about opera, from uploading tons of pics, and being able to customize my page. but most of all i love meeting new people.

Артур 9. March 2009, 15:49

Opera is amazing, yeah.

duckedtapedemon 9. March 2009, 15:50

I love how it looks clean, feels cleaner, and always seems to run the the best on bad hardware!

†ravis 9. March 2009, 15:50

i love Opera:
it's the most useful browser that i use, i use it everwhere on my PSP, Wii, my cell, my laptop, and on my desktop. And it amazing how it just keeps getting better keep up the outstand work ladies and gentelmen of Opera :D

ehoppe 9. March 2009, 15:50

I love the speed, the interface, mouse gestures, mail client, quick find, etc etc. The list could go on and on...

Владимир (Vladimir) 9. March 2009, 15:55

I really love Opera as a fast and convenient web-browser =)

ondatra 9. March 2009, 15:56

I love speed of GUI (even with 40 tabs), Opera Link, and I loved stability of Opera 9.0.
Also I love speed of javascript in Opera 10.

San 9. March 2009, 15:58

Putting aside all the techy stuff, the reason I love Opera is the community! I have made so many good friends from all over the world, I would never have met them if not for Opera. :hat:

Artur "Jurgi" Jurgawka 9. March 2009, 15:58

There are many reasons, yeah, mainly three reasons:

1) I like in Opera the same features, that I don't like in women: quickness, easiness, effortless.
2) I like Opera for the same features, I like women: friendliness, elegance.
3) I like Opera for the same features, women do not have: it just works, makes no problems, is not expensive or difficult to maintenance.
4) Opera has an users manual, however it's not esential, women do not have any manual, however it often seems necessary.

No, it was four reasons, there are four mainly reasons… damn I haven't expected Spanish Inquisition here!

Rita Pereira 9. March 2009, 16:00

The easy way to surf the internet.

kalagh 9. March 2009, 16:03

Safety: content blocking, cookies manager
Speed: image toggling, rendering texts before images
Customization: skins, custom buttons, userjs
Ease of Use: shortcuts, mouse gestures
Tabs Management: restore tabs at startup, closed tabs
Special Features: notes, transfers, speed dial

and so on...

FyberOptic 9. March 2009, 16:04

I love UserJS. It's so much more straightforward than trying to use Greasemonkey in Firefox. Firefox requires you to "install" your scripts, then deal with an unintuitive GUI panel, while your script is shipped off somewhere deep in your profile directory. With Opera, you can write your script, dump it into your scripts folder (wherever you want that to be), and you're good to go.

I also really like how Opera is on the bleeding edge of introducing new features. They come out with a lot of things long before the big guys do. And in some cases, they still do it best, such as it being the only one of the big boys which does true MDI windowing, instead of just some slapped-on tabs implementation.

Why use a rip-off when you can use the real deal?

Tom 9. March 2009, 16:06

"All you have to do is comment in this post what you love about Opera. It's that simple."

It's not simple at all. I could write on forever about everything I love about Opera!flirt Opera has been the best browser at least since I started using it, and sure, until now it has got some flaws. But these flaws are gone in Opera 10, so now a better browser is far beyond imagination... well almost.

To make it short: The two things I love most are the speed dial and the built in e-mail client. Also, I take advantage of most of Opera's functions.

Dawid Pająk 9. March 2009, 16:07

I love Opera for many things. For Speed Dial, Opera Link, Opera Mini and great Community of course :D It doesn't matter which platform I use: Linux or Windows - Opera always render websites the same way :smile:

Sprogger McSprog 9. March 2009, 16:10

Its hard to pin it down to just one thing but I love the feed reader that is built in. :up:

anuvin 9. March 2009, 16:10

i love opera for its fresh, innovative function, cool services which u provide. Perfect gui. F12 menu + selective page settings. Speed dial, speed browsing, speed work...
and maybe becouse it is alternative... I liked that kind of things...

Hugo Del Castillo 9. March 2009, 16:11

For it´s ability to make the web a great surfing experience!! No other browser comes even close to having all the features that I´ve come to love.

Dan 9. March 2009, 16:14

I love... Opera Link!
Whichever computer I logon to I know my bookmarks and speed dial are just how I left them last time I used Opera.

stillSHADY ™ 9. March 2009, 16:17

Hands down for me, everythng that comes with Opera mini...

Thiago 9. March 2009, 16:18

I like Opera because it's simple yet powerfull, and also is usually the first browser to have many interesting and all-brand-new functionalities ands features (that other browsers unfortunatelly copy and take all the fame).

Henrik Bakken 9. March 2009, 16:19

Oh, there is so much! But basically it all boils down to me getting my browsing done as quickly as possible. But here is the top of my list of favourites;

* Customized search from within the address bar
* Bookmark nicknames
* Customizable shortcuts
* Mouse gestures
* Opera Link (migrating computer never was this easy!)

Cheers guys - keep up the good work! (...and I miss you - no kidding!)

/Henrik

Charlie 9. March 2009, 16:21

I :love: Opera because it's a company by the people, for the people. Because you don't see any other browser companies reaching out to its user base like Opera does. :up:

Jonpag 9. March 2009, 16:25

I like the way I can sync.my home pc with my mobile securely

Hans Bendiksen 9. March 2009, 16:27

Opera link, speed dial, mouse gestures, custom search, browsing speed and customizability is my reasons for loving the opera browser. :yes:

nebojsa radeka 9. March 2009, 16:27

it would be easier to tell what i don't like in opera. the list would be much shorter (if there would be any).

but, ok, here's one, in fact two, i love most about opera:
- mouse gestures
- open in background.

antonen 9. March 2009, 16:32

weeeeee too many features too mention! i'm too lazy to write them all down there--but still it's its :wink: convenience what makes me love her (if browsers can be male or female :wink: ) But most of all I mean mouse gestures and Opera link, these are massive!

Tiju 9. March 2009, 16:34

Leevi 9. March 2009, 16:51

I love the hotkeys and the mouse gestures, they make things so much easier. I love the irc client, it's simple and elegant and it's better than most "real" irc clients!

BnouK 9. March 2009, 16:54

Opera, the multiplatform browser that you can use at work, at home, at school, outside, with your bookmarks easily accessible everywhere.
Inbuilt email client, highly customizable, really fast and stable.

Today my girlfriend asked me: why do you use Opera browser and not another like IE or Firefox?
Curious question about my girlfriend, she's even uses Opera too…

I answered him that:

- Above all because Opera corresponds best to the needs than have a browser and the functionalities that this one has me are necessary;
In particular the personalization of the various menus and bars, leaves me a great freedom in my choices; personal ergonomics and thus to return Opera adapted to my use and my needs. It is essential for me, a software adapt to my uses and not opposite!
Second argument is the management of the bookmarks, Opera allows an easy and fast classification of my favorite sites and that by putting them in desired order (by name) automatically, I don't found anything same in the other browsers or then one should be added more extensions or to go work in the menus, repertories etc… to classify with the hand and that take too much time but especially isn't practical.
- Its lightness in its operation (ressources management) and in the occupation place in system (XP Pro and Home) speed cold launching are additional advantage.
- Another point, important for me, its really speed screen of the Web pages. I always i'am very curious when i reading the various comments of the writers to specialized sites, being windy the merits of the speed of the browsers: Chromium, Safari or Firefox… I ask for myself even s' they took the trouble to test Opera over a few days. I have also Firefox and IE 8 on one of my PC and except Chrome which is a little faster it is true, the others I find they are rather slower to Opera 10 alpha.
- The last point relates to adaptability of Opera with a configuration computer. I have Samsung NC10 Netbook, there too Opera is easily adaptable to optimize the place screen and i posting a Web page with a poor resolution screen 1024 X 600, on Netbook it's essential!

In conclusion, Opera is appropriate to me very well for my daily use on the web, the others browsers bringing anything more to Opera does not have already (and often as a native), I n' have any reason to go to see elsewhere.
Sorry for my poor english language... ;-)
