Since the first beta many things have changed in Opera, and not for the better. Widgets can be accessed in the Widgets menu and every widget creates a new entry in the taskbar. Unfortunately, you can't control the window from the taskbar. Widgets have a smoother font, but are somewhat buggier that in the beta version.
Some sites that still don't work: the chat in Gmail, Yahoo Mail Beta, Google Calendar, Blogger's toolbar (that worked in find in Beta 1).
Opera 9 implements many features available in Firefox and tries to catch up in the market share arena. Unfortunately, Opera seems to duplicate Firefox's memory problems: Opera 9 uses more RAM than ever.
On the bright side, there's Atom support, Web Forms 2.0, SVG, improved security and better XMLHttpRequest support.
