Hmm, maybe we could start "Opera on NetBSD" initiative, what do you think
about it? We could bug Opera software to make something like a commercially
unsupported version for NetBSD. I could arrange a web page with sample
petition or something, or write to Opera development team.
And now for my favourite:
Browser holy war time! :)
I use Opera for common tasks (browsing, reading documentation, e-commerce
and such). When I want something rendered very good, I use mozilla (Opera
has some problems with our locale, I think they may disappear in beta2, as
stated in Changelog, but I didn't test it yet).
But, ladies and gentleman, when I design some pages for some clients, they
must be tested on the good, old, buggy "standard" browser. Guess which one.
The good thing is, that mozilla renders 99% pages the same way.

Generally, Windows runs a bit faster than our GNU desktop favourites on the
same hardware.
