[QUOTE="XLR8R, post: 891453, member: 85385"] I wonder if Opera ever thought through it's mass appeal. I mean, such features are great so long as you're a home/private user. I cannot imagine any enterprise/business use case of a browser that gives so many social media options, that too so easily accessible! Don't get me wrong, Opera is my favourite browser. But I really cannot consider using it at work, nor will my employer be happy if I ever get it on my work PC. So far I am still to see better choices than Firefox and Chrome for work use. Yandex comes close, but it doesn't always play nice with AV products, plus it's Russian and of course that won't fly if you're working at a North American or Chinese-funded organisation (maybe Europe takes it better?). What I'm saying is, the easiest way for a browser to gain market share is to get the product installed on enterprise desktops/laptops. But with Opera, the direction this product is heading, it does not look possible. I mean, look at them - social media, gaming browser - it has all the trappings of an Asian company with the heart of a European... :D [/QUOTE]
