Opera Software CoolTechZone claims that Microsoft has bought Opera. "In a recent conversation with one of our insiders at Microsoft, the source revealed that Microsoft has acquired Opera Software, makers of the Opera browser. The insider reported that both Microsoft and Google were trying to bid on Opera, but in the end, the software maker took the lead. At the moment, the deal is almost through with Microsoft and Opera planning on locations for the browser's research and development centers throughout the world." Update: Opera has officially denied the rumours (thanks to Nemesis11).

Opera is hardly the best browser.


It is inferior to 1) Firefox/Camino 2) Omniweb and 3) Safari. Opera is about number 4


Where did you pull this out of?

So did I, which is why I am on Opera. Try each again and try paying more attention to your system memory usage statistics rather than the pretty icons next time.
