Opera lite?

Although Opera is actually a bit smaller than Firefox, I find the default interface cluttered. Where Firefox and IE are mostly out of my way when looking at a web page, Opera's panels, tool bars, buttons, and ads are taking up half of the pixels on my screen. Opera is losing desktop ground to Firefox as an alternative to IE, I would like to see them release a minimal "lite" version with a focus on being small and out of the way.

As a matter of fact, the default opera interface is so embarrassingly cluttered, I can't even find a screen shot of it on Opera.com. Folks, if you are that ashamed of the way your browser looks by default, then why do you ship it that way??

Not really

Since 7.60, the UI is much improved. I've just installed 8.0 with old profile removed. The default UI setting is very clean. If there was no Adbar, the UI would be similar to Firefox.

Agree totally wtih you.

I find Opera is too clutter that makes it look amatuerish.
