I switched to opera on Linux recently as Chrome and then Firefox had gotten a bit slow or unstable for me as of late. Have to say, I am very pleased. It's tidy, fast and integrates in pretty well on Linux. It's also featured packed without the agonizingly long startups Chrome was giving me. I know they monetize with ads and such, but I haven't found them intrusive at all. I think one of their major sources is that they have a kind of Flipboard-esque feed of news articles on your home screen at the bottom. If that is where they do their advertising then it's a model of how to do it IMO. I've found that the articles it shows are genuinely things I want to read and it's not intrusive at all; in fact I'd miss it if it was gone.
