"This wasn't a review, it was an opinion"
Pros: Web standards support, full-featured out of the box (no extensions required), fast, light
Cons: Some websites have compatibility issues, due to not using web standards, not really Opera at fault, though.
Summary: This wasn't a review of Opera, it was one man's opinion of how Opera compared to FireFox. When reviewing a webbrowser, it's always a good idea to compare it against the market competitors (in this case, IE and FF), but the first paragraph of this review reveals the depth of the bias the writer has:
"But should you trade in our current Editors' Choice browser Firefox 1.5? No."
Shouldn't that be in the summary? Or better yet, leave it up to the USERS to decide. It's not the reviewers place to make "matter-of-fact" statements that are better suited as opinions. Next time you want to review Opera, get someone a little less biased to do it. I'm not looking for a glowing review. I know that there are things about Opera that can still be improved. And I'm not arguing with the score (though I disagree with it). But this article is a prime example of how NOT to perform a review.
