Star Opera: Apple, Ubuntu Should Include Browser Ballot Screen Too
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Mon 27th Jul 2009 07:29 UTC
Opera Software Last week, the European Commission announced that Microsoft is willing to implement a browser ballot screen in Windows so that users can select a browser to install when installing Windows or when setting up their OEM computer. While this makes Opera very happy, Opera would like to see Ubuntu and Apple offer such a ballot screen too.

Developer site, actually. And in case you haven't noticed, it has thus far been a notably good leading indicator of what trends we can expect to see on more general sites. And it says that Opera is #7 and falling.

But it's wrong, as I have already pointed out. A hobbyist/specialist site is NOT representative of the overall web.

Opera is the #3 browser globally:

And in Europe Opera is bigger than Safari and Chrome combined!

Face it, Opera fanboy. Opera is on its way out. It's dying.

Opera is dying, eh? Then how come they have doubled their desktop user base in less than two years? How come their desktop revenue was up more than 100% last quarter? How come they are constantly setting new profit records and pulling in major deals with the likes of Vodafone and AT&T?

That's why Opera Software has shifted from competing on features and quality, to lobbying for direct government intervention on their behalf.

Google and Mozilla are part of the complaint as well, but I don't hear you whining about them. Hypocritical much?

Face it, your ignorance is leading to your hypocritical, bigoted behavior.
