    I already wear sunglasses to browse the web, on account of all the flash and poor color choices.

    Although this is an improvement over the 90s. Back then I wore a welding mask.

    Whatever it looks like, Opera users will whine that their browser looked like that first.

    It will have no buttons or any other form of input, it'll be a window to Steve Jobs browsing the internet. This is Apple's quality control in action, you'll never see any crap sites anymore.

    Yes, his comment probably would have been better stated if he had left off the footnote entirely and simply said:

    It’s only been since Firefox came out that there has been any innovation in browsers that many people actually use.

    That way, you both disqualify Opera and at the same time you state why it was irrelevant. Win-win.

    And the 75 Opera users will be sure to point that out ad nauseum.
