There is no perfect browser. they all suck, somewhere, somehow.
It's still based on software, and if it is not the browser that
triggers your favourite hate, it will be a plugin for something

Worse is that even if the browser is close to your needs, it still has
to display pages people created that trigger all kind of curses.

I don't remember how I did it, but indeed, a great hate. Once I had it
right, I treasure my ini files.

Worse in Opera is the way to correct the fonts. Firefox 2 at least has
a way to tell a general preference to select sans-serif fonts,  but in
Opera,  you can set the default font,  but that doesn't change all the
other styles. One has to descent into the style list to alter the font
for header styles etc item by item!
