Opera, web
Mozilla recently introduced
Prism, which takes
Widgetize to a whole new level.
Opera's Widgetize will turn your blog or RSS feed into a widget with some custom skins and stuff.
What Prism does is, it takes
any website and turns that into a self-contained little browser.
While having GMail or such as a "stand-alone" application might sound nice, doesn't this remind you of something?
Browsing without tabs.You don't need a stand-alone application for this either. You could just use Opera to achieve a very very similar experience.

Opera
Firefox has some tools for web developers, such as the excellent Firebug. But what does Opera have? Here is a list of top 9 developer tools for Opera - I bet you can't find these from Firefox.

Opera, general
Did you know Opera's way of handling tabs is amazing? You know how it goes back to the previous tab you had active when you close the current one, instead of the one that's immediately next to it like it does in Firefox?
Well, apparently the folks who develop
the Camino browser thought it's an amazing feature enough to market their browser and even created a buzzword for it: Tab jumpback.
This is a direct quote from their features page:
Camino’s legendary tabbed browsing is even better in version 1.5.
[...snip...]
With “tab jumpback”, when a site opens a new tab, you can “jump back” to the page you were viewing simply by closing the new tab.
Kind of funny how they mention something trivial like that on their features page. Makes me think there aren't enough "real" features in their browser. I think it is the only correct way to handle it though - I'm always bothered by the way Firefox does it if I use it.

general, Opera
The second time I've been tagged, and this time it's actually something I can be bothered to reply on!
Not in any particular order of importance.
1. No more crashing when disk full
2.
URL bar search for bookmarks3. In the recent versions I've been having weird slow downs, so no more those
4. Sessions that support multiple windows. Oh how many times I've had two windows open and closed them in the wrong order, losing my tabs. I hate it.
5. Better developer tools
I'm tagging Ramunas, rbb, drlaunch, albertrosa and aleksanteri.
