Absolutely. But word-of-mouth success is still success (God knows there are failed word-of-mouth efforts). The point is that it successfully spread beyond tech circles. Opera hasn't done this yet (at least not in the US, outside of mobile),

It's not as mainstream as we all might like, but I think the case of Firefox (over 30% usage share currently) makes it pretty clear that it's more than just tech nerds who care (at least a little) about browser choice.

On the original post revealing Opera Mini for iPhone, there were pages and pages of people debating the security implications. Long story short: it does break end-to-end SSL, but unless you distrust Opera as a company, it's more of a theore

Traditionally, I think of Opera as the browser not afraid to be truly standards compliant, even if it means little differences between FF/Safari. I have seen examples of this, sorry that I can't find them now. Personally I'm happy to have O

I seem to recall a similar article that was on Hacker News a while back, but with seemingly opposite results (probably not testing for exactly the same thing, but it seemed to suggest that secular and religious thoughts were distinctly diff

What difference does it make if the EU gives you the boost or if Google does? Either way it helps take the internet out of IE's hands, lets just be thankful for that. Also, woot Opera. I really do feel it could be a dominant browser if give
