I have to say, so far I've been very impressed by Opera. Just the way it's laid out and functions really works for me. Plus it's got lots of little extras that just add to its value, like the Trash can (restoring a window you closed accidentally), and remembering what windows you last had open when you load up, and sessions.

There's plenty of options and ways of customizing it. It does lack Firefox's array of extensions, although I only really use them occassionally.

Really tricky chosing, but I think I prefer it to Firefox.

Have you discovered mouse gestures yet?

Worth a looky

Opera has so many little bits that FF either hasn't got or you need to download:
Decent skins (which you can preview properly & don't have to restart to install)
paste & go option
wand
mouse gestures
go to URL option
All little things I admit, but they all add up to a far superior experience

Don't forget IE7 will be released soon, Wonder if Redmonds finest will offer anything innovative (I'm not holding my breath!).

I think the main things with IE 7.0 are
tabbed browsing
RSS (and Atom) support.

It's a pain that Roboform isn't compatible with Opera.

Use the wand feature.
