Mhh, not sure what you mean here. It does come with a bit of extras but
they don't get in my way.

I don't use the email client included in Opera and Opera does not try to
force me to use it. I tried it once but I like Thunderbird so I deleted
the email accounts and that was it.

I also don't use the Opera bit torrent support. I use Ktorrent and Opera
is happy with that.

The "Speed dial" feature looked kind of useless at first but I use it a
lot now. I have 20 speed dials and I all my important sites are only one
click away.

The rest is like any other browser.

The one configuration option I am missing is the option to fully
customize the user agent string. Opera only gives me the ability to
choose between a few predefined browser strings. With FireFox I can
browse the web as the Googlebot.
