I'm amazed by the tiniest features of Opera which I fail to see in other major browsers.
Here I will showcase the beauty of the feature called "Server Name Completion". Using this feature you do not need to type the whole address for the site you want to visit.
If you type just the site name, it automatically checks for the prefixes and sufixes and take you to that site.
Like typing google/ will take you to http://www.google.com (or your local google domain), so you are saved by typing "http://www." and ".com"
The Same can be achieved by using Ctrl + Enter, but this would only for site home pages only.
For sub-sites or sub-domains you can use this method.
Typing google/mail will take you to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?shva=1
More examples:
google/mail
google/voice
google/reader
facebook/friends
facebook/<profile_name>
opera/addons
yahoo/search
yahoo/mail
delicious/<profile_name>
You can access the settings for this feature from Preferences -> Advanced -> Network -> Server Name Completion.
You may need to change the order of suffixes to suit your needs. By default whenever I install opera it shows .co.in as the first in order which I have to change it to .com as first as most of the sites I visit are .com sites.
