Yes, I used Opera for many years until I reluctantly switched to Firefox. The MRU popup still adds a mental load because you have to visually scan the tab list and know at which tab to stop at. Alt+Tab suffers from the same problem.

I try to not use the mouse, even while browsing the web. One of the reasons I liked Opera was the excellent spatial navigation feature, which sadly has no good equivalent in other browsers currently. Vivaldi claims to reimplement it, so that's interesting, but at this point I'm not going to risk more lock-in by switching from an open-source browser to a closed-source one.
