Weird and wondrous things

I'm an Opera user. I like Opera quite a lot, and almost the only thing that made me sad was the lack of love between Opera and Google-nifty-things. I had to use only the most basic gmail setup and go to IE to change settings, and other googlethings were better left alone

Why you like Opera so much?
Which advantages it has vs. IE?

Well, I first switched to Opera because I was told it's much safe virus-wise. Now... I don't know much about viruses, but among the things I like most in Opera are the ability to open many webpages in one window; the fact that you can choose any word on a webpage with your mouse and then right-clicking offers you the opportunity to search for this word (or phrase) with Google, look it up in web encyclopedia, translate between several languages (though not Russian). I think I use this search option the most, and also Notes - choosing and highlighting a part of text on a page you can also copy in to Notes, sort of a storage place for such scraps of text, so you need not open Word each time you see something on a page that you might need later
