I think Opera developers can’t be able to see the difference between spacing or no spacing. BTW Arabic letters are kinda funny, you know? They bend over sometimes. This is fun!

Actually, Opera does support most of those sites. You will find that it’s the site that’s blocking Opera, even without telling you about it. This is caused by buggy browser sniffing scripts written by amateurs.

Opera was built from the ground up to handle badly coded sites.

# there is long way to go for Opera to come
# back into the market of browsers

It’s already there, and seeing record growth and revenues in all markets.

StatCounterJen:

Nonsense. At best your stats are US-only. The iPhone only has a high market share in the US. In the rest of the world, it doesn’t.

Nonsense. Opera has doubled its user base in two years, and keeps growing. Last quarter they set a record with all-time high revenues and profits (as they did the previous quarters as well).

# Now they are pinning the hope on Opera mini.
# But I see few effort to turn around their
# desktop market share.

Did you even pay attention? Opera does NOT have the low market share NetApps is claiming. They are a bunch of liars:

And Opera is NOT struggling. Desktop revenues increased more than 100% last quarter!

When Safari’s popularity is increasing due to Apple’s products, Opera is dropping off from the number 3 spot. Now when people talk about the browser market share, Opera is often went off the radar screen completely. Now they are pinning the hope on Opera mini. But I see few effort to turn around their desktop market share.

[...] But why would Flock be interested in Chrome? My wild guess: the mobile browser market. WebKit (and thus Chrome) have a clear path to netbooks and mobiles over Mozilla. WebKit is dominating the mobile web market, as shown by market share data released by Net Applications recently. Mozilla’s mobile offerings are slow in coming. At the same time, there is a lot of demand for full-blown mobile browsers, a point asserted by Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO of the Opera Software in an interview with me yesterday. [...]

Hi folks,

StatCounter has just released its new Global Stats Research tool – the service allows you to monitor market share data for mobile browsers, mobile operating systems and mobile search – thought it might be of interest!

http://gs.statcounter.com/

Also, our research shows that the iPhone now has 24% of the global browser market followed by Opera with 22%. Nokia has 18% followed by Apple’s iPod Touch with 14%. BlackBerry has 5.8% of the global mobile browser market and Sony PSP 3.4%.

Today’s press release is available here:

All the best!!
