I suggest the community downvote comments like this. I'd like to see a published community guideline encouraging people to not make meta comments. The vast majority of readers don't use Opera, and a personal quest to see Opera treated as a first class browser doesn't belong in this thread. This is a cheap and easy way to score points.

Why do you think Opera is a second class browser? You should upgrade your browser to Opera sometime.

  He said no such thing. Can we talk about the article now?

Opera is by far one of the best browsers for Android in my opinion. Firefox frustrated me considerably as every time I horizontally scrolled I would open a side bar for managing favourites sites / tabs. This may have been changed in newer versions of firefox for the Android unfortunately I can't run it as Firefox consistently crashes on CM10 (not sure if this is a bug on Firefox's behalf or CM 10) (edit)I have a feeling quite a few people probably use Opera browser on their handsets...

  The irony that you would talk about opera in response to my comment is staggering.

    Forgive me, I fail to see the irony in talking about Opera in response to a comment regarding the Opera browser....

This is incorrect in Asia - the fastest growing mobile market in the world. Opera is very, very big in India - it also comes preinstalled in many dumbphones. http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2012/07/q1_and_2_2012_b.html http://www.quirksmode.org/blog/archives/2012/07/q1_and_2_201... On a personal note, I do want to mention that your comment leans a bit too much towards dogma. I dont want to start a flamewar (and go offtopic), but please have a downvote cookie. Returning to on-topic, I am able to use the site fine with Opera Mobile on Gingerbread.

We're here to either discuss the site design or the content. Seeing as the content is marketing speak apparently targeted at executives I think we're here to discuss the design. A design that excludes Opera is an interesting topic because we're supposed to be living in a standards compliant paradise nowadays.

What would've happened to Chrome if every website treated it like they're treating Opera now from the beginning?

WHEN THEY TAKE OPERA THEY WILL TAKE YOUR FIREFOX Additionally, this new trend of testing for browser strings deserves our scrutiny.

  I wish it was new, but the UA has been abused pretty much since we have the web. See http://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/ http://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history/
