Questions about Opera

Hope maybe some people here can answer some of these
questions I have -

1: You're typing in a URL. You press tab for autocomplete,
and instead it escorts the cursor over to the Google Search
bar. How do I make tab the autocomplete character?

2: Is there an ad-blocker similar to AdBlock plus that
automatically downloads lists of URLs to block? The built-in
adblocker is completely fucking useless, since you have to
select each and every ad you want to block.

3: Is there a way to make the "wand" autocomplete forms?
I've saved my authentication information, but instead of
automatically filling in authentication forms, as i had
expected it to do, it just illuminates them with a yellow
border.

Any help would be much appreciated

Get one by Mozart to begin with. My personal favourite is
Lucia Di Lammamor by Donazetti.

i tried opera but i switched back to firefox... mainly
because it lacks a few useful plug-ins, like nuke anything
or colorzilla, and because when browsing a messageboard it
would load the next topic when i arrived at the bottom of a
page and hit the space bar (i usually hit the space bar to
go to the end of a page and this "function" was very
annoying).

1. cursors to select desired ending, then enter?

2. general settings. block all?

3. I never used the wand, so no idea...

Agreed with uzim, the plugins or addons or extensions or
whatever they're calling them this week are the killer
feature of Firefox. Opera only has those retarded widgets.
Why the fuck do I want desktop widgets at all, let alone
ones that only run with the browser open?

BTW the wand auto-fill requires you to hit alt-enter. No
idea about those other things.

1. Just type a letter for example x and it will display all
the addresses that start with the letter x, then you just
pick up the URL you want.

2. Tools, Advance, Blocked content

3. I use a mouse gesture to fill in passwords and such,
Left>Right mouse click and it will fill in the password as
well as login in automatically.

Opera like FF is not very good until you configure it but I
say both browsers bare bones Opera is miles more useful and
practical than FF. I'm still using the same configuration I
made for Opera 6, took a while but I can't do the same
things with Opera on other browsers.
