Not a clue. However every minute spent fixing an issue for a browser with 1% or less usage is a minute not spent making it better for the 99%

- azakai 14y agoEven 1% being tens of millions of users, and when there is a clear conflict of interest here (Google having a product competing with Opera), and the relatively very small amount of work needed to make it work on Opera - not to mention the bad publicity here?
- cleverjake 14y agoIf 1% ~= 10 million then that means their user base is nearly 1 billion, which clearly isn't true. There are not 1 billion people with a blogger blog. There is no conflict of interest. They are not severing opera completely. just off of one section of one part of one of their services - one that is probably one of the lesser used ones at that. Not to mention, they are not going to make it not work in Opera, they are just not going to fix opera specific bugs. that means that if they stick to the standards like they normally do, then this really shouldn't be that big of a problem, outside of esthetics. I think this is the sum total of bad publicity. Honestly, Opera's biggest issue has been a lack of advocacy.
