I'll answer the tag from Saito. First, let's get one things straight: I'm a Mozilla Firefox user. I use Opera as a secondary browser. A screenshot of Opera on my PC is below.
5 things I’d like to see in Opera
Better platform integration (on linux)
I use Opera on Linux/x86 (Ubuntu 7.04). But there are some platform integration issues.
For Opera 9.22, I download and install opera_9.22-20070716.6-shared-qt_en_i386.deb.
FAYT doesn't accept keyboard input when the input method is turned on.
Qt's native look and feel and open/save dialogs are not beautiful.
Opera's file open dialog:
KDE's file open dialog:
The default fonts of KDE are ignored.
The Opera 9.5 will have better platform integration. Some issues may be fixed. I'm looking forward to the Opera 9.5.
Better font handling
Opera's font selection/handling isn't good at latest on linux.
The default generic fonts are incorrect(?).
Do the monospace fonts listed on the "International Fonts" dialog show actual glyphs? Or are even actual fonts listed?
"Normal font" and "Monospace font" select same font (I think).
multi-byte font name are garage (mojibake) on the font select dialog on my Ubuntu 7.06.
Opera's font dialog:
KDE's font dialog (choosing same font as opera's):
I know Opera has fast SVG/canvas implementation. But their performance are not enough (especially I'd like to point out the widgets using SVG or canvas ). So, I would like Opera to improve the performance.
I think the "Advanced" tab of the "Preferences" dialog is difficult. There are too many buttons, checkboxes, etc... Also, the relation between dialogs and menus is also difficult.
Creating the Opera profile, I start setting the "Deleting private data on exit". There is "Delete private data" dialog, but no "Delete private data on exit" dialog. So I need to explore the jungle of "Advanced" tab. I think that's not ideal behavior. Please (re-)cleanup the Preference dialog

What? Mozilla SVG is much slower than Opera? So?
