Opera (when they were still using their own
engine) had a lot of quite useful UI features, and
could open hundreds of tabs without much slowdown.
In the chrome port, they were back to basic chrome
features, and even right now (after how many
years?) it's not very different from using a
differently styled chrome at all.
Performance-wise, it's as memory hungry as chrome
itself.
Cheers,
Hauke
