Thank you, onlineleben:
"...or traffic from browsers that don't send a referrer."
Would that also include from google users who are logged into their google account?
Because there is no way that the majority of the visits could come from bookmarks or type in traffic...

No, they show up as google / organic and when you use the keyword as secondary dimension you see (not provided).

I heard that Opera doesn't send referers and think that you can define this in the others as well.

And, finally: if GA works the same as Piwik, "direct entry" can also mean they came from a page on your own site that doesn't carry analytics code. That means you have to include the code on every page, even the ones you're not interested in.

Not that simple, darn it. Opera 9.8 is a popular fake UA, and Opera Mini tends to come via an IP that doesn't send the referer. But not Opera as such. Look at user's IP, not at their browser.
