Opera [1] may mot be compatible with screen readers, but it has many
built-in features that are useful for people with disabilities.

1. Keyboard navigation to headers (W and S keys)
2. List view and navigation to links (ctrl-J)
3. One step switch between author and user styling of document
4. One step switching between images and ALT text rendering
5. Can style ALT text to improve reading (unlike Internet Explorer)

There are many nice features for people with some types of disabilities and
designers who want to test their web resources for accessibility.
