TBH, Opera was a much better browser than either Firefox or Chrome until version 11 or so.
Unfortunately, technical prowess is not enough to gain traction. Being closed-source and costing money (until version 8) was a much bigger factor for their failure.
Still, back then there was simply nothing that was as fast or usable as Opera. Rest in Peace.
