Google ignores Opera but ...

Opera has a 30% share in Russia!
Google misses Russian trick with Opera snubs (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/11/google_does_not_support_opera_as_top_tier_browser/)

I think a lot of sites forget about Opera. I suppose it will give something else for Opera ASA to have a bit of a whinge about. Although, you can change the UA pretty easily on Opera. Sometimes it actually works. I've been giving the portable Opera (Portable Apps) & even the desktop (I have it on my Notebook) a bit of a spin. It's definitely improved, still breaks pages occasionally, even Wilders sometimes, although reloading normally fixes that. I think that if Opera addressed problems like this that seem to dog it still after all these years it would have a higher market share. Thus more sites will deliberately code for it etc etc ...

Nice try Opera ... but still no goldfish ... ;)
