It was somewhat hyped to a degree in the mid 2000s. It had a lot of features other browsers hadn't and many things just worked better, especially using tabs worked much better with them. They also had a linux version when that was not a common thing. Was kinda sad to see them fall.
Yeah, I remember the IT department at work back then (circa 2006) recommending Opera to me. It had features that are more or less mainstream now, like tab reloading on a timer, and all that while running smoothly than any other browser I've used at that time.
Since then, I've tried a lot of browsers like Vivaldi and Maxthon, but for some reason or the other, like being bloated, or being taken over by entities I don't trust, had found a reason to move to a different browser. Currently using LibreWolf, and I hope I won't have any reason to switch browsers anytime soon.
