Color me interested. I'm currently fed up with more or less the entire current crop of browsers, so it would be nice to see a new serious player with some experience enter the field. Old Opera was a fantastic suite in its day, but new Opera is little more than a buggy hack of Chrome.

The new Opera is far more than a buggy hack of Chrome. It has a new user interface which isn't actually buggy.

A new interface which offers less functionality than either Chrome or Opera 12 (it can't even export your bloody bookmarks FFS), constantly locks up and becomes unresponsive for half-minutes or more at a time after simple actions, and largely wastes its breath on visual features like the new bookmarks manager which manage to be deliberately less functional than almost any other possible interface.
It's not as bad as Firefox though.
