Opera Software Hakon Wium Lie must feel a special kinship with the "Band of Brothers" soliloquy that Shakespeare reserves for Henry V. "We few we, happy few, we band of brothers..." the king proclaims before his men head into battle. With all of Microsoft's riches and power behind it, Internet Explorer has dominated the Web browser market since Netscape's defeat in the late 1990s. But as CTO of Opera Software, Wium Lie's job is to figure out how to incorporate the best technology possible in his company's software - and in this he's stolen a beat on Opera's much bigger rival.

You kidding me? Ease of use not there? Have you even tried mouse gestures? Opera's stacked with all the good stuff without needing to muck around with the settings - it's a very easy browser to use once you know like four or so gestures, right click drag right > forward, right click drag left > back, right click drag down > new tab and right click drag down and to the right > close the tab.
