This. Opera has left a huge legacy of features that people take for granted nowadays: very low use of resources; using the URL box also as a search tool; editable search engines; tab and window sessions; savable sessions; more that I can't remember now. All these were invented at Opera and later picked up by the others. Ten or fifteen years ago, Opera was the browser for hackers and the smart technologically-aware user. Then they sort of lost their way a bit. I switched away when Opera's resource use became as hungry as the others. Darn all these useless gimcracks and prettiness, I want speed, something I'm still saying today (which shows I'm as out-of-touch as ever I was).
