Opera, the Forgotten Browser

Quote:
When he reads the glowing stories detailing the wonders of the fledgling Firefox web browser, Jon von Tetzchner can't help but wonder why his own baby is so often ignored.

Von Tetzchner is the CEO of Opera Software, maker of the Opera web browser. In the sort of grand comedic tragedy that echoes its name, Opera went from spending almost a decade as Internet Explorer's understudy to getting an occasional polite mention in the cavalcade of media attention currently being directed at the new superstar -- Mozilla's Firefox browser.

I don't think Opera will ever overtake Firefox as a browser.
I used it a few times and I thought it was a good browser but had a terrible UI.
But anyway, they do adhere to Web Standards and that has to be a good thing, I'd be quite happy if Opera users had 20% of the market, IE had 5% and Firefox had 70%.
