I haven't tested the latest 9.5x releases of Opera, but previously
Opera leaked dns.  There also was no easy way to disable plugins.  I had
to reconfigure the browser to enable or disable plugins.  There's no
handy plugin for opera like torbutton.

I know OperaTor exists, but as both Opera and OperaTor are closed source, I didn't bother
to evaluate it in depth.  It seemed to be just Opera pointed at Tor.
