Opera is fantastic, I can't use anything else anymore. I have been using it on XP for about 5 years now, no instabilities. I love it much more than Firefox. I'm so used to all it's features, especially the zoom function that actually enlarges any media (pictures AND video) on your screen which no other browser does. So much easier to just manually zoom flash videos from Youtube to whatever size I want by scrolling my mouse wheel.

Not sure why Opera is being bumpy for you, perhaps your cache size could be increased? Opera has a funny cache system where everything is saved into a single cache4 folder and if the cache size isn't big enough or your harddrive is slow, it might seize up when writing to it sometimes I suppose? Anyway try adjusting the memory and disk cache options in preferences and also set it so that it only checks for updated pages every few hours or so instead of every few minutes.
