Hello. I was using this beautiful internet browser to surf and to explore everything so far, and I never had any difficulties with some certain web pages. I can speak only positive about Opera. Now, I have heard that Opera is the only one non-secured regarding phishing these days, is that true?

Well, hi three. Yes, that was true but the fix is implemented inside the newer 9.27 version. The trick was inside implemented protocol that had support to redirect the IDN addresses (internationalized domain name). And the bad guys were using this hole for almost everything. Firefox has got the same problems too.
