So far so good for me. I've always used Opera as my main browser, so it's good to see it using 100 mb as opposed to 600 mb of RAM.

Saw this thread and decided to give it a try - seems good so far. I used to use Opera around 4 years ago but stopped since then.

Opera 15 is Blink-based, instead of Presto-based, for those of you into rendering engines. Among other things, this means: The old developer tools are gone - Blink's tool set is the replacement; Opera will now render things just like Chrome does (and, to a lesser extent, like Safari does too); even the preferences are Chrome-esque now.
