Last week, the European Commission announced that Microsoft is willing to implement a browser ballot screen in Windows so that users can select a browser to install when installing Windows or when setting up their OEM computer. While this makes Opera very happy, Opera would like to see Ubuntu and Apple offer such a ballot screen too.

Haven't tried Opera Mobile or Mini so I don't know how good they are, but I gave up on the desktop version's cluttered default UI.
Opera Mini is a dream to use on phones with data plans and horrible built-in browsers (like the Sony Ericsson phones). On a screen as small as ~220x160, even sites like Slashdot and OSNews are usable/readable/navigable. The UI is pretty much invisible until you hit one of the phone's menu buttons.
Can't comment on Opera Mobile.

True, for the desktop version...now. For the longest time it was ad-supported unless you paid for a license.
Haven't tried Opera Mobile or Mini so I don't know how good they are, but I gave up on the desktop version's cluttered default UI. Sure, I could customize it, but frankly I had very little incentive for doing so.
Firefox is a RAM hog, but at least the default UI makes sense to me. Wouldn't use Firefox without any extensions, though.
