Specs
Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Modern look
It is a very modern version of Opera. It looks like a desktop app instead of a web browser.
Pro Futuristic interface
Opera Neon innovates with its clean aesthetic pleasing interface.
Pro Built-in URL shortener
It's their own one called lovebyt.es, does what a URL shortener should.
Pro FusedBar Aware
Really intelligent address bar. For example, type in how many calories in a banana and it will know - pretty cool!
Pro Ad-remover is already built in the engine
You do not necessarily need an extra plugin.
Pro Preview in tabs
VisiTabs shows you a preview of the site in the tab.
Pro Roccat Flick
Super easily share links with devices with Roccat on the same network (works really well).
Pro Full page screenshots
You can take screenshots of the whole page (not just the visible part) so no photoshopping multiple screenshots together anymore.
Pro Roccat Draw
Let's you draw on and annote the web.
Cons
Con Owned by Chinese Consortium
Pretends to be a Norwegian company, but is actually a Chinese company. Opera does not respect user privacy and is not trustworthy!
Con Not meant for general use
This browser is not meant for general use. It only exists, because the Opera developers had some ideas for the user-interface, and wanted their users' feedback. If you want a browser that you can use day-to-day, something with bookmarks and security updates, look elsewhere.
Con Bad UX
The usability is not the best since the left and right bar take up space and there is no way to resize them.
Con Never updated
The Opera folks came out with a browser as an experiment - and then they essentially abandoned it. It really was great, but since they never planned to support/update it and it's closed-source, it's not recommended.
Con No Adblock
There is no Adblocker like in the original Opera.
Con No extension support
Due to the way the browser is built, it does not support Chrome extensions even though it is Chromium based. Opera extensions are not supported either.
Con Outdated safari fork
Even a safari developer (@apple) doesn't recommend rocket because it can be behind in updates.
Con Backed by runecats.com
Rune cats is known for installing all add ons, including visitabs and a adblocker. Rune cats was known to make this which was supposed to be a better browser than safari.
Con OS X only
Con Limited add on support
They've got everything you will personally need built in, but a lack of addons could be an issue for some people.
