Opera has got NoScript / CookieSafe / Foxmarks(9.5)/ Adblock inbuilt and all can be accessed from right click or F12. and you say downloading extension is easy.
On Windows, FFx is a memory hog and it does slow down system, and still it is nowhere as fast as Opera.
If any of you are playing with Opera 9.5 alpha just minimize it and see the magic, it releases almost all the memory and takes it back conservatively and as you maximize it back you'll see no diff. in spped.
I couldn't understood your issue with EULA, unless you were planning to use it in Nuclear plant or embedding it in iPhone.
Also, proprietary systems is again a very rigid stance, you should use a s/w for the experiance, ease, speed and value for money. I never understood how it would help me to go for a crappy GPL s/w compared to a better proprietary s/w.
For rest i can't comment as I don't use the OS.

Try FF with ad block/flash block/page block and you have it in 0 sec.

9.5 traces 59000 DIVs with quite ease compared to FF and IE.
