Well at least it loaded for me in Opera, unlike the Google I/O site which reminded me of the dark days of the single browser web.

Opera basically is dead though, so I don't think one can reasonably expect new websites to test for it. Now, if it didn't work in Firefox or IE11, then that would be significantly more questionable. Edit: I'm assuming we're talking about classic Opera, not the Chromium build that is currently called Opera but is actually Chromium.

  That's exactly what people said with their "Designed for IE" websites back during 2000 to 2004. Whatever happened to coding according to web standards? This isn't a small boutique shop that cannot afford testing, this is a huge multinational company.

No, I mean current web standards.

        Yes, but that is based on Chromium, so it really isn't Opera. I assumed you meant "classic" Opera, since I would assume that the Chromium-based product would render sites equivalently to Chromium.

        Opera is not dead; Presto is dead.

      This is not an app, it's a web site. There's no reason for it to not work in web browsers - even obscure browsers like lynx. And this website reliably crashes Google's own Chrome[1] on iOS on an iPhone 4s. It's fucking stupid that we've gone so far backwards with web design.

  The layout is pretty broken in Firefox.

    Which part? Seems laggy but fine for me in Firefox 38 (stable)

The Google I/O site works fine in Opera. Not sure what you're seeing. Considering that Opera now uses Blink, that's not really surprising.

  It comes up with a blank teal(?) color page for me. I disabled all extensions to make sure they're not causing the issue.

    Are you an Opera 12 holdout? It's working just fine for me in Opera 28 on a Macbook pro
