Google to Buy Opera?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-gotta-be-kidding-me dept.

patro writes "Opera Watch writes Google is planning to buy the Opera browser. The source of the claim is Pierre Chappaz, the former president of Yahoo Europe. Google obviously can't buy Firefox, so Opera might be the next possible candidate." I can't begin to imagine why.

    Taco, maybe that's why you and OSTG are where you are, and why Google is where they are. Do you think Google would buy Opera just on a whim?

    In case anybody else forgot, CmdrTaco was also the first to pan the IPod, and look where that went.

    The moral of the story is: whatever CmdrTaco thinks, bet the opposite to happen.

    The whole forced banner ads thing kind of drove me away from it

    Opera is 100% free now. No ads. I use it quite a bit for web development, verification of sites, and general browsing.

    Now's a great time to relook at it.
