Opera Embraces Extensions For v.11

dkd903 writes "Opera is one of the most solid browsers around. It is very fast, extremely customizable, and has a lot of functionality that others do not have. Opera is also a very strong supporter of Web standards; it was one of the first browsers to pass the ACID 3 test. However, Opera has always been confined to a relatively small user-base because of one critical thing — lack of extensions. Well, that is about to change — at least the extensions part. Today, it has been announced that Opera 11 will support extensions."

Its unfair, but years ago I tried Opera. It crashed shortly after using it. It was uninstalled and I've not tried it again. Since Firefox does everything I need, plus lots of extensions, which are not even available on Opera, I really understand why I should give Opera a second look.
Now that Opera is to support extensions, I know the no-extensions complaint isn't valid, but I still don't see a compelling reason to switch.
