No, the claim was "lack of accepting by Opera engineers and management" about site compatibility, which is a blatant lie, as pointed out by several people.
No one is denying that alternative browsers like Opera and Safari in particular, but also Firefox to some extent, don't work with sites.
But the reason for this isn't that they don't give a damn about compatibility. That's just an ignorant and completely clueless claim. Opera is actively working on these things, but it's not like it's some quick flip of a switch or anything like that. The web keeps changing, and problems can be complex.
Most of the time they are caused by browser sniffing gone wrong, so those browsers have to deal with that. Opera does it by spoofing the browser ID, which "magically" makes it work most of the time.
Right. Facts don't matter. Stating facts is just an attempt to look good. I get it.
