What the hell does the icon being well-known have to do with anything? Oh wait, I know, that’s illegal as well. Oh my.

Hard work? Yeah, maybe that’s what pathetically shameless whining passes for at Opera. They did some real hard work to promote their browser, as opposed to what Mozilla, Google, Apple and even Microsoft have been doing. My heart’s bleeding for them indeed, poor bullied and oppressed Flopera.

But it has been very vocal about voicing its support for the forcing.

So when a criminal breaks the law and is thrown in jail, he is “forced” to be locked up, and anyone who supports placing criminals in jail cells is being mean?

And now Opera is actually going after the IE logo as well, oh boy.

Are Mozilla/Google all pure and angelic in this issue? No, they’re in it for the market share as well. The big difference is that they’re nowhere as shameless and pathetic about it

Really? So just silently reaping the benefits without doing any hard work is just fine?

I also don’t understand what’s “shameless and pathetic” about commenting on issues you are asked about, and sharing your opinion. Would you prefer Fascism over free speech?

I find it interesting that you try to come up with any excuse to bash Opera while at the same time giving, say, Google a free pass. Google has actually filed antitrust complaints against other companies, but those were thrown out. But clearly, Google can do whatever it wants to, but when Opera does it, it’s “shameless whining”. Go figure.

Are Mozilla/Google all pure and angelic in this issue? No, they’re in it for the market share as well. The big difference is that they’re nowhere as shameless and pathetic about it, which, again, is the point that the Opera shills are too ashamed to face.

Mozilla/Google joining in the antitrust complaint automatically means they support the solution of forcing Microsoft to advertise their products for them

Opera isn’t forcing anyone. Like Mozilla and Google, Opera is just an “interested third party”. It’s the EC which makes the decisions.

Oh, and if you are doubting if Google and Mozilla support forcing Microsoft to carry competitors, let’s wait and see if they decline the offer to be bundled with Windows…… If they do, you were right. If they don’t, all these complaints about Opera are nothing but hypocrisy.

Bad here is not filling complaint but keep insisting that the only possible solution is the one you want and ignoring others. Such behavior only shows one’s weakness.

So any solution Microsoft suggests is automatically a good suggestion, and Opera is being evil for not accepting just anything Microsoft throws at them?

By the way, Opera is not the authority here. They are just a third party. It’s the EC that runs the case.

One antitrust complaint is not the same as another.

Sounds about right. Unlike Opera’s complaint, Google and Microsoft’s were thrown out because they had no merit. Opera’s complaint did have merit.

Google and Mozilla are on this whole thing as something called “interested third party”, which basically means that they are allowed to submit comments to the court and participate in some classified information.

That’s the same status as Opera.

The comments made by members of Google and Mozilla were, from what I can remember of the things I’ve read, personal and not an official position of either organization.

Both Google and Mozilla made official statements. The Mozilla boss dedicated several blog posts in her own blog to the subject over a period of time.

Opera is whining loud and proud, it really puzzles me why you Opera shills on the other hand seem to be so ashamed of it.
