yes, opera invented many of those. others improved them and implemented on their own (ff speed dial is MUCH better than opera crappy and closed implementation of their OWN idea, thats pathetic). list goes on and on. most Opera innovations werent touched for YEARS now (cookie management anyone?.

that separates firefox from opera. due to add-on’s constant development cycle these are always fresh and up to date. opera functionality average age is 5 years. and that is clearly visible when you check their GUI, their menu system, their various managers (cookie, download, JS etc). and after firefox included auto-update for addons (that works, compared to opera auto-update for the browser) installing them and managing them is EASIER than placing a f.. button on opera toolbar.

as for the opera turbo – i cannot see a single reason why this is a sensible investment

content-encoding: gzip, deflate

DOES THE SAME as this ‘innovative product’.

it isnt innovative, it is a nonsense, that costed opera lots and lots of money and is going to generate even higher costs (they need to pay for the servers, you know) without any tangible benefit. it fits perfectly opera overall development strategy :)

Opera definitely doesn’t need some random newb on the net to tell them what to do to stay alive. They’ve been in the browser game for more than a decade, and all their business areas are experiencing massive growth.

Opera has stayed behind, eh? Nice trolling.

Stop it with the doom and gloom nonsense already. Opera is doing fine. Look it up for yourself in their financial reports.
