Nothing is wrong with it, people just tend to downvote if they don't agree with someone's choices.
I personally use Firefox, but only because I don't like chromium based web engines
Try Vivaldi. It's from the original opera people and has many more features. Iirc couple years ago opera was sold to some Chinese company and stopped using its own engine which caused its popularity to decline. It's not that it's a bad browser, but aside from the performance limiter function they keep advertising for gx, it's pretty much obsoleted by Vivaldi imo.
Give firefox a go as well. Vivaldi has lots of cool features, but if you don't really use them switching to Firefox is a better choice simply because it's not a chromium based browser.
Why its hated:
Nah, it’s all right. I like Opera. But I also like Firefox, edge and iOS Safari (I absolutely hate Safari on MacOS).
Most of the browsers run smooth and slight differences in speed are rather unnoticeable for the normal everyday user. So you should not rly care about the opinions of others. Use what you like best.
