In Opera, users can install Speed Dial extensions which add dynamic information to the page, from the current time and weather information to stock quotes and your next Google Calendar events. Once opened, contents remain as they are until the page is reloaded or opened anew. Most web browsers who use a speed dial like interface for the new tab page display static contents there. You can add as many notes as you want, use the search feature to find specific notes and thrash them again. Opera ships with a note taking app that you can use to save notes directly in the browser. This can save a lot of bandwidth in the long run, or in situations where bandwidth is limited.
The system basically routes traffic through Opera's server first, where contents are compressed, and then send to the Opera browser on the local system. Have a slow Internet connection or an Internet provider that is keeping you on a tight leash bandwidth-wise? Then Opera Turbo may help you use the web faster. You can integrate Pop3 and IMAP mail accounts into Opera, and access mail right from within Opera. Neither Internet Explorer, Google Chrome or Firefox offer this.
While there are some browsers that have a mail client integrated as well, Opera is the only browser with a considerably market share that does. Here you can create - among other things - IRC accounts to connect to IRC networks. You need to configure the feature before you can use it by clicking the Opera button, then Mail and Chat accounts. Opera has an IRC client built right into the browser that you can use to connect to various IRC servers.
