Opera takes the opposite approach of Internet Explorer and Firefox in that tons of features are available out of the box. It is still very customizable, and its size and speed are better than other browsers . It's easy to disable things you don't want to use (e.g. mail/chat). It also has the best security record and is the fastest to FIX major security holes than any other major browser (secunia.org). Period.
The forums are very active and moderated, so new users should feel free to ask questions there. Tons of skins, custom buttons, scripts, INI setups, etc. (nontroppo.org/wiki/Opera, my.opera.com). Only 5.5 MB installed on your drive. You can also partially emulate Opera in Firefox (Andrew Gregory or firefoxopera.blogspot.com). As for those "IE-only" sites, spoofing works 95%: "Identify as Internet Explorer" or Mozilla. Here's to a mid-90's dot-com that survived the burst and is still kicking.
