OPERA SEARCH can be FULLY CUSTOMIZED, they didn't dig deep enough into it - there are even tools for that.
That's BTW a problem with all those tests, they are done sometimes a little bit superficially and OPERA is really complex!
Taken into account this SEARCH flaw, the correct result would be:
OPERA 20 points, FIREFOX 11 points and IE 9 points.
Looking even better!
M/B someone should point CHIP's nose to that?!

Really interesting test btw.
They also forgot to mention that you can add Paneels.

NOTE: I allmost forgot... you need an OPERA browser for this!
PS: There might be a problem with cookies on this forum because I was asked to logon twice!

Factual errors:
- Opera has several more built-in panels. And both Opera and Firefox make it very easy to add webpages as extra panels.
- Opera does allow you to change search engines. But it is not supported and hackish (editing search.ini), so I agree with the '1 point only' there
Study design problem:
- They gave Firefox a point for 'Mouse gestures', because there is an extension available (I always wonder which of the available extensiosn to use, BTW...). But several other Opera features can added to Firefox with an extension as well (Sage RSS reader, advanced download manager, page zoom including images), and they didn't give Firefox points for those. So why for mouse gestures?
