How Opera makes money

Indeed, I've tried opera a few times. Usually no performance or core web-browsing improvements I can see over the stock one I use (firefox/chrome/safari, depending on platform). But there's plenty of ugly and clunky that goes with it, that quickly loses my interest.

I disagree with your point about the performance issues.

I've had increasing issues with Flash video stuttering (audio stays fine, but video freezes momentarily until it "catches up") on Firefox.

I recently switched to Opera and these issues have completely disappeared.

I find it practical, personally. I've always used WinXP with the Win98 'classic' theme, and Opera with the Opera6 theme. Not particularly beautiful but very responsive and easy to navigate.

That's my experience too, except that I continue to use it. I like the fact I can configure the toolbars and the toolbar layout 100%.
