Honestly, Opera is one of the best pieces of software I've ever used. It had tons of features and customizability without being slow or feeling "bloated". I never quite understood why it failed to gain marketshare 10 years ago while Firefox did.

Firefox was free and Opera wasn't. Geeks don't trust proprietary garbage.
