I hate opera for some reason, even though its the best on resources and speed.

Same.

LOL! "For some reason"? It is quite configurable. Perhaps you should start a thread in the software forum asking for options to configure it more to your liking?

I know how to configure it but I don't like its design and how it deals with tabs (can't be fully configured).

Not sure how much you have used it, but you can change some more of that behavior than you may think. Opera does support "extensions" but they are called userJS. Many greasemonkey extensions also work.
