I use Opera.  Not that good of a browser and fairly unpopular so I don't know why Facebook would want to buy it.  Also, I don't know if this is a good or bad thing.  Probably a bad since it would decline the popularity rating of Facebook...or it could raise the reputation of Opera.  Either way, I'd like to see what happens.

I think Opera is a good browser. It used to be my main browser for a few years until I switched to Firefox (which was only because I suddenly couldn't use Opera anymore due to some program I had installed).

Here's an article that highlights features that Opera did first before other browsers, such as Firefox, copied them. It may explain why Facebook turned to Opera to buy first instead of another browser.
