BTW Arabic letters are kinda funny, you know? They bend over sometimes. This is fun!

# Opera has lots of problems with websites.
# Lots of sites are not supported by this
# browser.

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:

# our research shows that the iPhone now
# has 24% of the global browser market

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.

========================================================================

Wai Yip Tung:

# Being a loyal Opera user I can’t help but concern
# about the future of Opera. When Firefox burst
# into fame a couple of year ago, I didn’t see
# Opera take advantage to aggressively market
# itself as another alternative to the IE6 monoploy.
# When Safari’s popularity is increasing due to
# Apple’s products, Opera is dropping off from the number 3 spot.”

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!
