Opera 26 for Linux shows great promise

All the Opera versions are now the same, no matter the platform used. That means that users will get the same kind of features on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux, which is not a small feat. Getting parity in apps, across platforms, is a very difficult thing to achieve even if the application uses the same Chromium base.

Opera 26 brings a feature that users won't find anywhere else, and that is the ability to share the bookmarks with other people. This might not sound like much, but it's actually quite useful and it's a great addition. In fact, Opera has been responsible for bringing numerous features that were actually adopted later by Firefox and Chrome, so their role of innovators is very well known.
