It was a competent browser, but it lost everything that made it Opera. They seemingly nuked its entire feature set and it was no better than a skinned chrome.
I still remember the day, roughly 2 years later when the Technical Preview of Vivaldi launched. I don't even remember how I found it, but I've been using it since day one and it has remained a true spiritual successor to what made the original Opera what it was, aside from the rendering engine.
