Lets simply get to the point by analyzing the features that stand out.
Pros:
1) Opera Turbo: As stated in the description this is what I like about Opera. It saves my bandwidth costs especially on a data limited internet plan.
2) I use the same browser on my mobile: Opera Mini 5 and Opera Mobile 10. Both of these can be synced with my desktop browser.
3) Faster Loading times: It is lightweight when compared to IE8 or Firefox. Opera Turbo helps a lot as well.
Cons:
1) Some sites do not support this browser. My "Netbanking" site never opens when I am using this browser.
2) Turn Opera Turbo mode off and you would find that Firefox and Chrome outclass this browser in terms of page loading time.
On the whole, as per my personal experiences. When performing financial transactions (which involve using multiple payment gateways and the page too involves multiple secure frames), it is best to use Firefox, Chrome or IE8 whichever you prefer. But if you are stuck with a slow connection and are casually surfing the net, nobody can beat this browser. I use it to login to my forums, sites, mails etc and get near broadband like loading times while doing so.
