Linux.com has a review of Opera 9.5, which also includes various benchmarks for Opera, Firefox, Safari, and IE on both Windows and Linux. Linuxcom concludes: "Opera 9.5 is full to the brim with features and improvements and highly customizable. By rolling in apps such as the mail client and IRC chat application, and integrating them into a user's browsing experience, Opera 9.5 is a worthy challenger to Firefox 3. It surely has enough power and features to make it my favorite browser. If only it were free software and open source!"

The only ones that mean anything to the majority is OpenOffice and Firefox.
And besides: Forking is a strength. Firefox was sort of a fork originally from Mozilla. The main product that they where pushing(Mozilla) had a number of issues that the fork fixed.
Essentially: Forking takes darwinism in software to a new extreme. If a projects has some flaws that the creators don't see, ignore, etc... someone can fork it and fix it. If these issues are important and large enough the fork will win through. Survival of the fittest(best software).

Problem with OSS is that it will never ever create a tower of babel...instead it will create tens of thousands of mudcakes...just because there's no co-operation and every OSS developer wants to do their own little tinkering disregarding the others.
Let's wipe Opera because Firefox already has the same functionality. HAND.
*goes looking at his 1000 mediocre versions of Linux kernel, Open Office and Firefox. Or. Not.*
