When you first run Opera, on Ubuntu anyway, you will note the appearance of a Terms Of Service (TOS) agreement. Once I got past that, I also found out that I needed to activate the status bar. Apparently, Opera does not provide this as active by default.
Surfing Test. In the past, Opera has had issues with some secured Web sites. Most specifically, some bank Web sites. And to be fair, so does Konqueror. But this does not excuse the fact that IE7, Firefox and Epiphany Web browsers don’t have any issues at all. I consider it a showstopper to be something that prevents access to something as common as select secured Web sites, such as banks here in the US.

Aside from that issue, Opera is light years faster than other browsers I have tried in the past. Most pages load in a fraction of a second on broadband, even during peak usage times. But even with its tremendous speed, some pages using WordPress, among other content management systems, are not always being rendered correctly. Not all WordPress pages mind you, but some heavily modified ones that even manage to adhere to Web standards, do have some pictures or other images that are "off" in some odd fashion. I guess you would call it off-center.

After investigating it further, it turned out that the cause seems to be the use of "ContentLink" Ads.
