    I have started this thread because I realy want people to give opera a try and post there reviews on it. Many Webmasters use Firefox for its plugins but many features of the plugins come standard with Opera, and if not then there surely will be an alternative out there.

    Opera has a great web browser and is one of the leading mobile broswers and many mobile applications are programmed around this.

    If you are willing to give opera a try please download;
    http://www.opera.com/browser/


    If you would like to try mobile version then;
    http://www.opera.com/mini/download/

    Please if you do download record your score in the pool above.

    If you require a plugin then post and i am sure one of the other opera lovers like my self i have found on this forum will surely help.

    I love Opera. If it had some of the addons that I use constantly in FF, then Opera would be my #1

    Mainly searchstatus (shows robots.txt, meta, back links, highlights nofollow links and other seo tools)
    Alexa rank display - I like having it cause I'm used to it and depend on it to usually tell me how popular a site is.

    If there's a way to do the above in Opera, I'd glady use Opera from now on.

    I said for "userjs", other scripts that we can integrate with opera. Like the seobar, i mentioned earlier. Its a .js file and we need to install it to work with opera.

    It was my favorite until I used Chrome. It's my main browser now, although I still use Opera from time to time.
