Talking of Opera, here is some trivia (source: Wikipedia) -

Håkon Wium Lie, chief technical officer of the Opera Software company is the creator of the CSS web standard.

With version 8.5 (released in 2005) the advertisements were removed entirely and primary financial support for the browser came through revenue from Google (which is by contract Opera's default search engine).

Opera technology is now found in Adobe GoLive, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Dreamweaver, and other components of the Adobe Creative Suite
