Existing users, 
I have previously reviewed this software. I am reviewing it again based on overall performance, security, and stability.not preference.
First like Firefox, and Camino, this bowser is "rock solid secure" does not crash, and hs built in "handicapped features" not found in the "big guys" Deleting "old preferences" will cure your fears. Second, it has a built in mail client, and alerts are given me,when I receive a message or a blocked pop up. This holds true for sent messages as well.
This is the only browser with a "bit torrent client; what about the big guys?
Also it is not a memory hog; I have ussd this browser in my classic time, and spent $40 dollars; it is now free.
Those of you complaining about it's looks, download a skin to make it look like the browser of your choice, Netscape, IE, Camino, Safari; look for yourself don't post something which I have found correct. Yes all reviews seem to be based on prefeence; would it not be wise to be objective?
Lastly, rather than store the paasswords in the keychain, it has a Wand Manager for passwords. I cant find an issue with a browser remembering passwords in it's own database for security purposes.
Please change the user agent for sites I am reading that Opra will not display; it has no problem in recognizing a bank site I vist, but Safari does have a peoblem.
Opera

Because it is the only browser doesn't support keychain? - rhpatrick22
Because of Opera's own security features, for those who have a preference to using the keychain, ccomes the following obsevations:In the security updates which I applied; the keychain access was not secure; by using it's OWN Wand paassword manager, it is more secure as the security features are built in.
With regards to IPassword, I received a full refund after my keychain was affected; this I know is a matter of preference, but try to crash this browser by giving it a security test as I have; not only does it pass with flying colors, but with each step the user is informed. Did I fail to mention this is the ONLY browser with bit torrent built in?

gathers dust - brianjansorge
I keep downloading the latest and greatest (seems like weekly event) Opera. GUI still seems ugly by Camino standards (don't preach about the multitude of UGLY "skins"). Missing some features of Omniweb I find necessary.Doesn't support keychains like all the other browsers. Won't play with 1Password (which increasing numbers find essential). A deal breaker. Period. Too bad. Has potential.
Better is always different. But different isn't always better. This *is* OS X. Until one browser really *is* necessary (hey, almost everybody I know who uses OS X and is *more* then just a basic user uses more than one browser), people are going to be saving passwords for the internet and *needing* OS X's keychain and/or an application like 1Password.
Sorry, reality is reality. IF Opera zealots had *their* way, life would be miserable for Mac users who expect *more.*
I *refuse* to pander to developers who say it's *their* way or the highway. If I save a password while setting up an account while using Browser "A," I'll be damned if I'm going to have to RE-save it in the other three or four browsers I use *fairly* regularly.
That simple. Period. End of subject.
YMMV. Others, like myself, however, are spoiled. So what?

Because it is the only browser doesn't support keychain? - Ilgaz
Opera had Keychain support back in the day and now they decided to use Wand. OS X keychain is a must for any browser because of how system works. Not just they don't support keychain, they don't support any integration from guys who could code it (1password).This is not Windows or Linux, this is OS X. Application should respect the OS it works on.
