I don't think there's anything wrong with Opera's business model.
Don't Firefox also get money through content partners (eg: Google Search?).
I'm aware that you have had to pay for Opera before - Wii points on the Wii, and also for the DS/DS Lite version of the browser.
Opera have always been at the cutting edge of web-standards. They're always good with the ACID tests.
There mobile versions are excellent and render stuff quickly and efficiently on all the mobile phones I've used and played with.
- erikwiffin 17y agoThe fact that Opera does so well on Acid tests may actually be to its detriment. I'm primarily an Opera user, and I can say with a great deal of confidence, that most websites are not built to render properly according to standards. If I were not a web developer, I wouldn't understand why every site I visit renders wrong and would switch to a browser that shows them "properly". I appreciate it as a web developer, and because I like standards, but even then, the developer toolbar for firefox means that I do most of my work there and most of my personal browsing in Opera.
- lucumo 17y agoAs an Opera user, I don't recognize this at all. Most sites work fine with Opera. Only problem I have is Flash. But that actually works a lot better in Opera than in Firefox. At least when it crashes in Opera, only Flash dies. If it dies in Firefox, the browser dies.
