Yeah, like Opera, especially since it's Norway, the home of Opera. :)
EU Could Force Bundling Firefox With Windows 650
Barence writes "The European Commission could force Microsoft to bundle Firefox with future versions of Windows. The revelation came as part of Microsoft's quarterly filing with the Security and Exchange Commission. Among the statements is a clause outlining the penalties being considered by the European watchdog, which recently ruled that Microsoft is harming competition by bundling Internet Explorer with Windows. The most interesting situation outlined in the filing would see either Microsoft or computer manufacturers forced to install Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari by default alongside Internet Explorer on new Windows-based PCs."

Microsoft needs to just get out of the hardware market. The Xbox 360 is cool, but I'm on my second one and that one is dying too. And my Zune is cool, but randomly buggy. Either that, or they need a better QA department.

They are DOMINATING on mobile phones right now with Opera Mini. Check www.opera.com/smw. They are gaining in usage by about 8-10% EVERY MONTH.
I LOVE Opera Mini. It's SO fast!

i am sure that the desktop team sees your request on my opera. that's what that forum is for. it's just up to them whether they DO it or not. haha. i'm a web designer and i've never heard of that. cool idea though. however, i'd prefer a prviacy mode first, just cuz people really want that.

It's nice to see Opera is still in the game and trying, but it feels like they're still falling behind in the new, turbocharged browser race. Now if only IE would fix their flat tires and get back in the race.
what? they're constantly innovating, adding new features, and striving to be more standards compliant than any other browser, and they've had 3 major releases this year, with 9.27, then 9.5, and now 10 alpha. i'd say they're far from being left behind.

True. Opera has always had more features than any other browser, and has thought up many of these features before other browsers. Now whether u see them as useful to your browsing experience or not is up to you.

I don't believe Opera is anymore secure then Firefox. It is less popular which means it's not targeted by malware, perhaps this is the reason that it looks more secure?
Opera is more secure by default because it doesn't have extensions, which open holes for Firefox that Mozilla has no control over. But then again, it doesn't have extensions, which sometimes come in handy, so it's a trade off of features vs security.
