As a side note if you haven't checked out Opera's Other Browser "Coast". I would really recommend playing around with it. It feels closer to the Web as OS concept than anything else I've seen.

I really like the built-in QR code scanner. I noticed that my private certificate authorities I've installed don't seem to work -- is this an iOS limitation?

If you are using the "Opera Mini" data savings mode it's Opera's fault, otherwise it's an iOS limitation.

Ah yeah, I turned that off first thing. Seems strange that private CAs wouldn't work in apps

Private CAs do work in apps unless the app itself is doing something strange.

I gave Chrome a go as well and get the same certificate error as I got in Opera. Ah well.

I like almost everything except I quite detest the fact that it must reload every time I navigate back and forth. That previous versions DIDN'T do that was a huge draw for me.

Perhaps the devs could make it so it only reloads if you tap the back/forward buttons, and doesn't if you use the back/forward swipe gestures. I think that would be ideal both functionally and aesthetically.

The reason for not reloading is two-fold: 1) Much snappier browsing experience. 2) Reduced data usage.
