Opera advertises like crazy on YouTube in videos that appeal to a younger crowd. A lot of paid promotion. I've seen it pop up several times when my kids are watching and they've asked me about it before. Opera was sold to a Chinese group a while back - I believe not long after they switched to chromium. For some, that's enough reason not to use it. That group started branding Opera as a gaming browser that uses fewer resources. The original Opera developers started Vivaldi, which is very comfortable for users of the old Opera.
