I have been using firefox for some time. However the memory leak in 1.5 seems to be a bit nuts. So I just got Opera 8 and am giving it a spin. It seems to have all the same features as firefox really but looks a bit cleaner to me and so far does not seem to be chewing up to much memory.

I also like how the status bar in Opera can be hidden but piops up while a page loads. That seems like a nice feature.

I was wondering what some of you thought about Opera. Advantages and dissadvantages compared to Firefox? Any known issues with Opera worth knowing about?
