Anyone use Opera?
I'm getting really pissed off at Firefox these days and I'm wondering if Opera will be my safety parachute.

This thread is for Opera, not the many reasons why i reject Safari/IE/Chrome.

Opera is kind of sucky - hence why its usage share is so low even though it is free.

I'd like details. According to wikipedia, it has roughly 12% of market:
Chrome 17-23, Firefox 10-17, Internet Explorer 10, Opera 12, Safari 6 Numbers for 2012

Where exactly are you getting your numbers from?
Usage share of web browsers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia That's 3.72% for wikimedia. Stat counter has it down pretty low as well (1.42%).

I use Opera. But I use Firefox at work. Firefox is a bit faster. But I'm used to Opera.

I used to use Opera back in the day and I tried it again a few months ago. Didn't like it at all.

If you want more detail, here is Tom's Hardware review of all the main webbrowsers , back in Nov 2012:
The King Is Dead, Long Live The King! : Which Web Browser Is Best Under Windows 8? Opera is ranked last.

Okay, you are going to laugh at me, ready? Those numbers I misread. They are version numbers for the software, not market shares. LOL!!!

I would instantly seriously question any stat that showed Opera beating IE. I think this year was the first year IE wasn't first since the days of Netscape. Opera has been 4th-5th most used for some time.

I use it as my main browser and it works fine. I know there were problems with a previous build .Firefox slowed down big time for me.
