"It's great"
Version: Opera 8.0
Pros
It's very customisable. I love the mouse gestures control. I use voice control on and off when I'm really lazy.
I love the tabs which can be arranged in anyway I like. I like the fact that you can pick up from where you left off when you browse again, and that you can reopen tabs which have been closed. It's great when I don't want too many tabs to clutter my space and restart it later when I need it again.
I really like being able to zoom in and out easily with the use of the mouse wheel. And I like being able to put my frequently used bookmarks on the toolbar.
It's easy to manage my downloads with Opera. Of course, the password wand is great too.

"Great browser with tons of features"
Version: Opera 8.0
Pros
I love how it is good for browsing right out of the box, no need to install any extensions of toolbars, etc. New features that I particularly love are widgets and content blocker, but there are features virtually for everyone!
Cons
Sometimes can be confusing for the first time users, but once the initial barrier is removed, Opera can be your favourite browser too!
