Opera is a cross platform browser, it has neat features like mouse gestures, page zooming, bittorrent downloads, built in email messaging and much more!, firefox doesn`t comes with as much many features out the box!, unfortunately while firefox can expand its capabilities using extensions opera can`t except for the widgets that are available but are not as powerful as the firefox extensions, opera`s focus is on speed and stability which makes it a great alternative to firefox if you appreciate those things more.Opera is free and available to most operating systems.

Opera also supports GreaseMonkey-style customization out of the box. Pretty much every "modern" browser feature was in Opera years earlier, and now I sound like every Opera fanboy on the planet. I've been using it since 2.0, and couldn't understand why people were being blown away by tabs and the like in Firefox, which only in the 3.x betas is getting livable, in my opinion.
I beleive Opera's mistake on the desktop was charging long after the others were free. Some software is worth twice what they charge, and that's how Opera was for me -- I upgraded versions for years. There is only one feature I wish it had that it doesn't, and that's copying HTML format to the clipboard like IE and FF. But since "Show in IE" and "Show in FF" buttons were easy to add, a single click will launch a page in the other browsers so I can copy the formatted text and images easily. I use that maybe twice per week.
