Opera used to have this ;'-( before they fired the entire Presto (browser engine) team and switched to webkit/chrome.
I've been giving the "modern" Opera a test run for the past week and while it's still way snappier by miles (compared to firefox and chrome, on a slow laptop) but it still misses so many features I used to depend on in the 2000s.
Yes you can get add-ons for almost all of the functionality, but you'll grind firefox or chrome to a halt before you even get close the the functionality of the old Opera that just came with all that stuff, batteries included.
(before accusations of bloat: installer/executable size was tiny, I seem to remember below 1MB for medium-old versions)
