I've never really been an Opera user either, other than trying it briefly. >From what I know, after many years of having their own engine, they dumped it in favor of Google's Blink (forked from WebKit). They seemed to have sort of a "cult following" with many intensely loyal users, but then they went a different direction. And now it sounds like some of the original Opera folks are doing this new browser. But again, I've never really kept up, so if you want to know the real story... :) I *can* highly recommend Pentadactyl. It seems like the best of the Vim-style extensions for Firefox, has been steadily and tirelessly updated over the years to keep up with Mozilla's churn, and is very stable. I haven't been converted to EVIL yet, but I have always found Vim's modal style very efficient for web browsing.
