For me, it is because it simply works straight out of the box, with all the features I use all the time. For me, it is several of the following reasons: * mouse gestures. * the speed dial. * the ease to create custom url-bar searches. * thumbnail images of tabs (to check a potentially nsfw link at work). * in page link or text search using ',' or '.' * the ability to search for links in the sidebar, and select all of them (e.g. to copy to a wget script, etc.) * the ease to customize the content block. ... and probably other stuff, which doesn't come to mind. Also, and this is important: I'm not trying to convince you here. Just pointing out that some will say the exact thing on the switch from Opera to Chrome, Firefox or Safari, with good reasons of their own. Whatever floats your boat. Also, mind you, I have firefox and chrome installed. Firefox I almost never use, and chrome is useful to see shiny WebGL stuff, which has a lot more support. Sometimes also to see new CSS-demos that are broken in Opera (mostly because of lazy developers who don't include the -o- extensions).
