"Was"? Opera is still around. I used to use it, but switched to FF when I started having problems. Apart from that what's wrong with it?

I said "was" because the comments on Ars are talking about how Opera was first with this and that, even though (in my opinion) they were badly implemented, but anyway many moons ago. I used Opera a lot in the early 00's before Phoenix got my attention. It was dogshit.

Yes it's still around, and aside from very slow development, the question isn't so much about what's 'wrong' with it, the question is what's right with it. The way I see it...

I.E. - Your old smelly friend...
Firefox - Standards and customisation... plus GPL if that turns you on
Safari - Mac Attack... Apple fanboys love it, plus it's got Webkit, which is pretty neat
Chrome - New kid, lots of speed and no bloat (yet)
Opera - Why bother?

[rofl]
