While Google has the resources to support Opera, it's not financially prudent to dedicate them to support a browser that barely has any market share.

  > While Google has the resources to support Opera, it's not financially prudent to dedicate them to support a browser that barely has any market share. Really? How much do you think it costs to make Blogger work on Opera?

    Including testing, support, development, translation into various languages, overhead, meetings when fixes conflicts? I would shoot at an average of 100k per feature. Plus more in the future to keep the support when they add new features.

      What do you call a "feature"? How many features does Blogger have in your definition?

      What would need translating for code improvements? They're forcing themselves to do more translating by showing a "not supported" message.

      Considering that Opera is religiously standards compliant, anything that renders properly on Chrome should also render properly on Opera. (Assuming Google isn't invoking some kind of undocumented chrome-specific functions we don't know about for some reason). They can 'drop support', okay, fine, it's their choice what browsers they target. I just hope they don't start sniffing for the user agent and actively blocking it.
