No, not until Opera version 12 or so -- until them, Opera had always been an independant team, pushing the envelop and innovating a lot.
Their browser was wonderful, and a favourite for Power Users at the time. Great customization option, they invented many new things now spread to other browsers, like Mouse Gestures, for example.
Part of the original Opera team left and now run the Vivaldi browser project, where they continue the tradition of catering to power user and customization galore.
Vivaldi is sadly a bit Chromium based too, it's difficult to pursue an independant rendering engine nowadays. Even Microsoft gave up on EdgeHTML, which is a very nice one.
