Take a look at this list and choose on your own, personal preference is likely going to outweigh anything else. By the way, Opera is based on Presto, so Chromium based browsers will be a bit different.

The keyboard shortcuts can be turned on in the Speed Dial extension options, not sure about the mouse gestures, as I don't use that one. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Model #: BRMD10926
