I use Opera as my main browser. It has annoyances, for sure. It takes
forever to load and does seem to consume a lot of ram (not as much as
FF), and generates "pluginwrapper" segfaults (non-fatal). But despite
all that, I like the graphics zoom (although there are infrequent times
I'd prefer it to work like other browsers and zoom only the text). I
also like the provision of a-keypress-for-any/everything. And there are
a handful of other features I'm glad to have, as a "bonus". I've used it
for several years, and am comfortable with it's UI.

I switch to FF for it's extension-based features, though. And I also use
Epiphany for it's blazing-fast loadtime.

While gripes are on the table, Epiphany gives an 'The Application
"epiphany" has quit unexpectedly' message every time I close it, and
Firefox sometimes does not exit cleanly -- leaving a firefox-bin in
memory that consumes 100% cpu, that I have to manually kill. I believe
this has been reported as an extension fault, and I also believe I
haven't seen it recently, so it may have been fixed.
