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.
