Opera hasn’t been the same (i.e. fast, good, etc.) since version 12. They essentially “sold out” and re-packaged Chrome after this. I stopped using it, as it became too slow and bloated; which was too bad since I have used it since version 3, on both windows and unix platforms.

The original developers quit and started up their own company to create a more modern browser that was based on the older Opera. It is called Vivaldi and I think it is now available for download. I cannot say how good it is, as it is Windows only, and I have now totally moved off Windows...

Some of the comments at the article suggest that Vivaldi is not yet ready for prime time.
