Yup, this was a glorious coup by company higher-ups.
Wait, what? Are you really saying that the people in charge of the company made decisions about the company?
Shock! Horror!
Even Wium Lie, the father of CSS and long-time Opera manager, backs the switch. But I guess he's part of the conspiracy too.
Grats, Opera management. You managed to kick out a good founder, kick out a good engine, and kick out any certainty that you won't be sold out to Facebook (Facebook, ffs!).
Facebook? Why? They said they weren't planning on getting aqcuired. Instead they've been making their own acquisitions.
You even made me wonder, between Tolfsen's account and the second engine change (from WebKit to Blink), if Google has simply stuffed your ranks with their management just to Elop the place.
Actually, there was no second engine change in reality. Opera used Chromium in the first place, so when the engine was forked it was automatically forked in Opera as well. There goes your crazy conspiracy theory.
