Google Default Search For Opera Mobile

Posted by Zonk on from the goopera dept.

sayanchak writes "Reuters reports that Opera Software has agreed that Google will be the default partner for its mobile Internet browsers. Google will be the default search partner for the mobile browsers, Opera Mobile and Opera Mini." From the article: "Oslo-based Opera Software is a tiny competitor of Microsoft in the Internet browser market, but the fast-growing part of its business is in browsers for mobile phones and other mobile electronic devices."

    This is a serious comment, i am only doing this as an AC to avoid being modded +5 funny, -7 flamebait. Why do people on slashdot not mind macs, and yet act like microsoft is the devil (which it, obviously is). Apple's Macintosh is not only just as a proprietary piece of crap as Windows, but it also forces you to purchase their HARDWARE if you want to use it the "legit" way (though this may change with mactels, they have been operating this way for years). In my opinion, each of the two companies is, after all considerations THE WORST FUCKING THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO COMPUTING.

    Obviously I don't give a shit about what website a search button takes you to by default.

    I just starting using Opera. I have use FF and Safari. I use Safari mainly but I do like Opera. It is really quick in rendering. I like the little drop down to get to my bookmarks. I like how easy it is to "mock" other browsers. The interface is not clunky but clean and workable.

    Very nice all around.
