• I came across Opera as there has been a version 6.xx
  
• I always have 3 browser windows with currently a total sum of 34 tabs running and thanks to the possibility to save sessions they always come up when starting Opera (see pictures at the end of the text)
  
• I like the tabbar at the bottom because there is also the Windows taskbar
  
• I don't need a Google search-field because I use to type "g search term" (and lots of other search-features in the same way - like a couple of dictionaries, ebay, wikipedia etc )
  
• I cannot live without the mouse gestures which is kind of handy or the keyboard shortcuts (like ctrl+tab to switch tabs, ctrl+t for a new tab, ctrl+w to close a tab or ctrl+q to quit opera )
  
• I used the shortcuts - like digits (1, 2, 3 etc) - long before they became "in" with Speed Dial
  
• I use and like to use RSS-feeds but I don't use the e-mail-client (because I need a calendar which I synchronize with my SE-mobile phone Nokia mobile phone), Widgets (I started using Widgets lately ) or the BitTorrent-feature because I have to many of those files always running
  
• I love Opera Link since the moment it has been included into Opera's snapshots
  
• I'm kind of addicted to content-blocking
  
• I couldn't be without the individual site-preferences to be in control of which site is allowed to open pop-ups or which site isn't allowed to use JavaScript!
  
• I don't allow pages to "Raise, or move a window to the foreground", "Lower, or move a window to the background", "Intercept the right mouse button", "Hide your address bar"
  
• I would have forgotten many usernames and passwords if there would be no Wand-function
  
• I'm running out of space on my.opera.com although they offer 300 mb for free to everybody (changed to 1 gb )
  
• I love Opera!
  

Quick and customizable Web search
Get quick access to Google, eBay, Amazon and more with the search field in the upper right corner. Or, for even quicker searching, search directly in the address bar using built-in and customizable keywords. For example, type "w Opera" in the address bar to search for “Opera” with Wikipedia. You can also create your own Web search from any search field on the Internet, simply by right clicking on a search field and choosing “Create Search”.

Tabs and sessions
Opera is very light on your computer, so it's possible to have many tabs open at once. Drag and drop tabs around to change their order, or get a preview pausing over them with your mouse. You can even save a session of tabs for later, making it easy to pick up where you left off.

Mouse gestures
With Opera you can navigate the Web with your mouse. A mouse gesture is performed while clicking and holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse in an easy pattern. Perform movements with the mouse to access well-known functions such as Back, Forward and Open New Tab. As with Opera's keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures are fully customizable, so you can tailor them any way you want.

Zoom and Fit to width
Is it difficult to read the content on a page? Use Opera's Zoom button in the lower right corner to resize Web pages. If the page is too wide for your screen, simply hit "Fit to Width" and Opera will resize the Web page so you avoid horizontal scrolling.

Content blocking
Block images, pop-ups, and plug-ins you don't want . Right-click and choose "Block content" to selectively disable annoying elements. To make Web pages load faster, or to avoid offensive content, temporarily turn off images by pressing the image button. In Opera, smart pop-up blocking is turned on by default.
