Highly Ranked

Opera is clearly the R&D of the browser industry. Never seen such an elegant implementation of Private mode, not even in Safari.(Some FF add-ons do this, but their reviews are not so favourable)

So why would Opera be not popular? One, it isn't compatible with a lot of websites. I used Opera as default in my college lab. Once i got broadband at home, Opera was the first browser I installed, and navigated to www.wikimapia.com. It told me to look for another browser. So i did. Guess what? It was FireFox.

That was in 2006, I 'm yet to recover from my add-on addiction, the charm of the vibrant community. Still have Opera on my machine and update it, but Chrome is my default, use it for quick references, and for longer surfing, i use FF with its panoply of reference add-ons.

Unite, I think it's a killer feature. Still use it.

Two, and this is a very subjective comment, Opera is snobbish. It knows it stuff, but it is kinda hard to reach.

I have nothing on Opera's quality, yet I just can't get myself to select Opera as my default browser. Poor dumb me.
