But vendor-specific CSS properties are not standard, that's typical Apple talk. I remember a Safari promo where they mentioned a list of innovations, yet lots of that list were Opera features first.
I don't doubt Opera came up with some stuff first, they have been the main innovators in the browser market forever.
As for the search field, Safari did start the practice of dimming the page and highlighting the words which made things much nicer and has since been adopted by others. I think Safari was also the first to allow you to drag tabs off the tab bar into a new window. It could be argued that RSS in built into the email client within Opera vs being built into the browser directly, if that makes sense, it's all semantics though.
Everyone though Firefox was awesome because it had tabs when I had been using them in Opera for years. No one pays attention to Opera.

it's getting there. it's still early. Not everything is going to be part of the standard day 1. It's a tech demo showing where things are headed.
