One thing I always find interesting is that the % of Opera users on Ars is always close to the universal %. I always assumed that Opera users were more technical, and therefore more likely to visit the Ars site, than the average user.

By universal, do you mean the US average or the world average? Opera is very popular in some parts of Europe like Russia and Scandinavia, and significantly less popular in the Anglosphere. The higher use among technical users could push it Opera representation from the US average to the world average.
The article provided "universal" and Ars specific stats. All the % are drastically different between the two, except Opera.
I think (don't know) that the Opera user stereotype is a bit off; most Opera installs are on phones.
