 Opera Browser Tutorial
Opera is most often praised for being a compactly-designed piece of software, which has made it a popular choice as an embedded browser on handheld devices.
While the Opera browser has several advantages over Netscape and IE, there are reasons it is a distant third in the browser wars.
Since most Web developers work with either IE or Netscape (often both), there were often compatibility problems between Opera and complex web pages--a problem excerbated by the often non-standard ways in which IE and Netscape treat such features.

If you think a web browser should consume all the memory in your computer, even after you think you have closed it.
Opera also allows control over how the cache is used to store html documents, images, and other files.
The print preview in Opera has a nice feature that lets you control which frames to print (all together, or individual frames), but opening the frame that I want as a full window seems to produce the most consistent results.

 PCWorld.com - Opera's New Browser Fights Phishing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Internet browser company Opera Software has added features for tighter security and the ability to surf the Web with voice commands in the latest version of its browser, Opera 8 for Windows and Linux, launched Tuesday.
Opera, in Oslo, sees the security issue as one it can leverage to carve into Microsoft's dominance of the browser market with its Internet Explorer.
The desktop browser gives extra information about the identity of Web sites, automatically activating an information field that gives a level of security from 1 to 3 and listing the certificate owner of the site when the user visits a secure Web site.

 Opera launches web browser for consumer gadgets
Opera 8.5 for devices aims to provide an execution environment for web applications and user interfaces, in addition to the "full" Internet experience Opera has long claimed to offer on embedded devices.
Opera claims Opera 8.5's Javascript rendering engine to be the fastest in any browser, and that "native Javascript extensions" enable device developers to create new Javascript objects and methods -- allowing Javascript applications to control device functions such as changing TV channels, adjusting volume, making phone calls, or playing songs.
Opera 8.5 can even serve as a self-contained applications framework on simple devices with no native applications at all, Opera says, thanks to an available graphics framework called GOGI (generic Opera graphical interface).

 Opera Mini: Web browser for any J2ME phone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Opera Software, whose desktop web browser maintains a small but intensely loyal market share, has released a new Java-powered web browser it claims will run on any J2ME phone.
Opera has been in the mobile space for quite a while, but their products have run on a limited set of higher-end phones.
From what I read, however, using this new browser may not be as simple as "customer downloads and installs product." The 60K Opera Mini actually works in concert with a server that does most of the work.

 SecurityTracker.com Archives - Opera Web Browser May Execute Files Selected for Download Instead of Prompting the User ...
It is reported that the vulnerability applies to Opera 5.02 Build 856a (with no Java Runtime Environment installed) on Windows 98.
If a file name ending with a ".exe" extension is downloaded, the browser will issue a security warning box asking the user to "open or save." If the user selects "open", the file will be opened with the default application associated with *.exe files.
In the 10 days from today's date since the download and installation of the 'free' Opera 5.02 Build 856a (No Java Runtime Environment installed), the manufacturer http://www.opera.com has since come out with a newer version: Opera 5.10 Build 902 which doesn't appear to be affected at all.

 The world's first trade union web browser - from Opera and LabourStart
By a trade union web browser, we mean one which has specific features built-in that make it more useful for trade unionists than an ordinary browser.
Opera has a policy of not discouraging trade union membership among its employees, some of whom are trade union members, which makes sense as it is based in Norway -- a country with one of the highest rates of trade union density in the world.
At the present time, none of the three major browsers are made by unionized workforces, though we hope that Opera will be the first to have a recognized union.

 Digital Trends - Opera Web Browser
It really looks like Opera is trying to add some features to its browser which will seperate it from the rest of the pack....adding pop up killers and mouse features is a super huge bonus in my book and something every browser should have.
The browser also does not load the forums page of Designtechnica correctly, moving the "reply" and the "post thread" buttons to the left side of the field versus the right side where it belongs.
What I didn't like about Opera was that it cost money to get rid of that damn AD at the top of the brower.
