I noticed at some point there were single key presses that were conflicting with the Power Keys JavaScript I wrote a few years ago though it's a nice option to have...and that's the nifty thing about Opera, there's not a lot of need for extensions.

I just found the mouse gestures in 11.5 and I like the visual.

I've noticed that Opera loads pages from the cache when you open it hence it's fast initial speed. "Continue from last time" in Opera and "Show windows and tabs from last time" in Firefox is absolutely invaluable. Years ago how did we ever live without tabs?

Firefox 4.0's startup time does seem much faster however they keep wasting time merging extensions in to the browser directly and then destroying critical GUI components.

While I'm not big in to mobile I like the fact that Opera is and that they apparently do a lot of good working keeping things working cross-platform.

Funny thing about Safari, it's now more customizable than IE9, who would have imagined that a few years ago?

I have done more testing with Opera 11.5 and GPUz and I have to say I'm much more impressed with how much they offload to the GPU than other browsers. I would very much like the ability to merge the bookmarks toolbar with the address bar though, in Firefox I use only favicons and t uses about 50% of the width of the screen.
