"Opera Software chief Jon S. von Tetzchner's Web browser, popular with many hardcore computer users, hasn't taken over the industry. The Norwegian company's browser has been around for 12 years but has just 1.5% of the market. Compared to Microsoft's Internet Explorer, or even Mozilla's Firefox, it barely qualifies as an also-ran. But unlike its competitors Microsoft and Mozilla, Opera is focusing a lot of attention on noncomputer devices: mobile phones, videogame consoles or just about anything else you can stick a screen on."

Thanks for saving me the trouble of posting a screenshot! 
Like your's, all I have are the tabs and my navigation stuff (plus one bookmark toolbar for quick access). Me thinkgs someone tried Opera out a couple of years ago and can't be bothered to try it again before trolling away.
Or, they have just never tried it all...

The prob with Opera is there are too many worthless buttons and clutter on the windows. Clean it up and make it recognize dhtml better.
Ok, what else do you want to remove? The tabs?!

Seriously, I have no explanation for Opera not having more than 1%...I have tried Firefox 2-3 times and I always go back to Opera. Also I have no explanation why Firefox has has so much momentum. It uses so much memory and it is so slow. Isn't it more convenient to have a feature-rich browser than a weak browser that needs to be patched manually with extensions?
