Can't agree more, but my opinion is sentiment-biased. I was a paying customer back when Opera had ads-infested free version (and these were some huge banners on low-resolution screens) and an ads-free paid version. Browser tabs were a truly magnificent invention and made Opera stand out. Shame that the company wasn't able to keep up. They had some really fresh ideas on improving web browsing and it didn't seem like throwing money at walls to check where it sticks. At the time.
