    I'm using it right now. Seriously this thing is so light on the RAM. I'd have to open like 100 tabs for it to reach the same RAM usage as Safari or FF with 5 open tabs.

    Tab Stacking FTMFW!!!!

    I used to love Opera, now not so much. From what I've read it goes toe to toe with Chrome in a lot of ways. I'm glad you like it, I may install it and give it a try...

    honestly, I had to jump ship during the 10-10.6 builds because it was so bloated.

    but man...11 is kicking all kinds of ass.

    I like Opera, but I can't open my school e-mail account through it for some reason. So, I hardly ever use it

    I have all 4 major browsers installed now, and this one has the slowest page-load time. It's light on the RAM though.

    I quit relying on it, and had all but started to ignore refining web sites for it due to problems displaying things correctly, mainly CSS and potentially partly on my end. I'm sure that's been resolved by now, but it just got cumbersome for me a while back. Is it really that good?

    I don't know what you're talking about. Holy crap this thing is fast. Web pages are appearing almost instantly for me now, even big pages like Autoblog and Engadget. Repped.

    I used to be a big fan of Opera too, to the point of using it exclusively (like I am doing with FF currently). However, a big drawback for me personally was that when you do the right-click search for a highlighted word shortcut, it does it in the same tab window, whereas with FF it pops open in a new tab

    does opera have a powerful ad blocker? that's the reason i've been sticking with mozilla. i know you can right click to manually block content on a webpage but i'd like an application that does it automatically.

    I just installed this one and I agree, it is much slower than Firefox which is what I normally use, but faster than safari

    Well, in the new version of Opera they have different Extensions created by users. I believe I saw something about an ad/content blocker. It's really simple to install those Extensions as well, just click on install and it's ready to use.

    Man, Opera is too bad ass.

    That can easily be turned off through Preferences. Preferences > Advanced > Tabs > uncheck Reuse current tab

    Still using Firefox and I don't really worry about memory/RAM problem since I have 8GB of it. I can't live without my extensions. I use to have all 4 browsers now I only use Firefox and IE9.
