From a broader web perspective, I don’t think it matters a lot that #Opera is moving. It matters on the margins for sure — they’ve always had smart, dedicated people, and have been a distinctive and differentiated voice that’s made the overall web stronger as it’s evolved. But the consumer market has never really much cared about Opera overall despite their technical excellence.
I don’t know. Opera has pushed the boundaries for so many years, with print CSS, zoom, etc. One innovator down.
