Wikipedia in your Opera
Opera is the fastest browser there is, not only because of its unique caching system but also because it's got a hundred of shortcuts to improve your efficiency.
One of them is the "Hotclick".When a word, on any page is doubleclicked or highlighted, a different menu comes up when its rightclicked. Using this menu can improve your web-experience tremendously.
The trick lies in moderating your standard_menu.ini file. Windows users have this file in their C:/My Programs/Opera/ini folder while Linux users have it in the /usr/share/opera/ini folder.
WARNING:Don't modify this file while Opera is running.
First find where your hotclick popup menu section starts, it'll probably look something like this.
Now you can easily add your own favorite sites to the menu by just looking at the search string in your browser's address bar when you're searching at that site and replacing the word that you queried for with "%t" without the quotes. That's it.

I'm in love with Wikipedia so I just had to have it in here and I've found that Googling for definitions is much faster than the answers.com redirect that is provided by default. So now my hotclick section looks like this.
