Why do you miss it? Opera is still out there but it's just basically another Chromium browser like Google's Chrome browser.
Microsoft is also working on a new browser that might eventually be a replacement for internet explorer called Spartan. I did an article on my site about it last month. It is due to be released with Windows 10. Hopefully this one will be a good one.
Because it was lightning fast and I had no issues with it at all in 2012/2013

Opera is effectively dead. The current version bears zero resemblance to what the browser was before they dumped Presto for Chromium.
Dumping the rendering engine was probably for the best, but they shouldn't have axed everything else about the browser in the process.

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure why you said you missed it. It was much better before they switched. I always use 3-4 different browsers for different things and Opera used to be one of them. The speed it used to have was one reason I used the old one. It seems many of the browsers out there old and new are just different chromium based browsers now.
I'm curious what Microsoft's new browser will be like. Maybe the new one will be better than the I.E. browser now. It would be nice to see a real good Microsoft browser.
41x? On Apple/Linux platform? I have Chrome 40.x running on Windows 8.1 and "About Google Chrome" says I'm up to date.
I used Firefox for years, but then switched to Chrome - can't remember why (maybe a "try the new thing" situation?), but I've never gone back to F'fox. Chrome's been rock-solid. No complaints. (Possibly I'm not making enough demands of the browser to stress it: I always have multiple tabs open, watch videos occasionally, have my security settings set to Medium, etc.)
So what makes people love/hate browsers, other than the obvious things like frequent crashes?
The OP was asking what web browser you use, not which search engine.
DuckDuckGo is a great search engine though, I use it often myself. You get different search results than on Google and Bing using the same terms so sometimes you can find things you can't find on the others.
I am back to Chrome lol FireFox started acting crazy so I went back to Chrome
