Opera died to me after version 12 (the moment it essentially became Chrome with a different skin).

I was their user since version 5 or 6 (this was before everyone started the crazy version system, back them they released a major version about once a year).

The biggest things that I loved about the browser you couldn't get by extension, they could do many things because they could directly update the engine.

Now learning that they are owned by PRC there's even less reasons for me to use it.

Opera could have done a lot of good if they would open sourced their old browser (kind of line what Netscape did). Someone leaked the original source code, but because it was leaked and not officially published, no one wants to touch it. Anyway now it's too late, because it's way behind the current browsers.
