Oh yeah. Is Opera cleaner (less buttons, less crap, just the things I need like "favorites")?

Not initially. It will be in the next version or you can use the current beta. Go to the fvcking site and try it.

You can remove just about anything, or add things. I removed everything and left just the tabs and address bar myself, I don't use anything else.

You may want to read a few of the links previously posted in this thread.

(I recall reading the Maximum PC article, and would say it was not their finest work)

I'm going to badger them again to do another article. I've already requested it once, I'll bump the thread. Opera is faster and has more features than any other browser out there, it needs more recognition.

One feature I rather like is the ability to adjust nearly any skin to a percentage of its original size.

Example (set to 40%).

I installed Opera and I like it so far, it's a lot like Firefox but customizing the interface is easier, but for the ads, which you guys with the screenshots don't have, did you guys actually purchase it?

I just didn't give Opera a chance because I knew I'd never want to pay for it and the ad sucks.
