Opera is the most brilliant browser there is. I've been using it from version 7. The GUI is somewhat difficult in the beginning, because you can configure practically everything about it. But after a short while it is a wonderful experience. It's also the fastest browser out there. It is incredibly compact (4.11 MB install file), certainly when you know it provides an email-program, download manager, popup blocker, rss-feed reader, irc-chat client and torrent-client. AND it provides native SVG support, which is being implemented at lighting speed. Those guys are really doing a great job.
Nobody asks that software works in Opera because it isn't known enough. Firefox stole a lot of the attention, in my opinion because the GUI is really easy, and because of the numerous extensions, themes and so on. Their marketing is also pretty good.
