I guess desktop revenue will go down, if they wont release v12 fast and if it will be rock stable
Just releasing fast won’t matter, what features they put in more important.
For me , they have to add more JavaScript ECMA support & better WIF/ADFS support. So that Opera browser can be used in enterprise.
i dont know how do they count percentages, but 20% of 51mln is something around 10mln. so now desktop userbase should be around 62mln, not 55. and this growth is rather pathetic (trying to not use word stagnant)
almost all internet metrics (no matter how unreliable they are, they can spot trends) show that opera market share is declining and again approaching 1%
hardly surprising if almost no major pages work in opera. and by ‘work’ i mean work just like in all other browsers, not ‘opera version of work’. users dont care whos ‘fault’ it is, and it is opera mostly anyway. years of neglecting developers (tools, where were you?) and doing everything ‘my own way’ are now paying off. noone cares! :)
I’m pretty sure they count percentages just fine. 2Q2010 was 46 mln. 20% is ~9 mln . That brings you to 55. Yes this growth is pretty pathetic, particularly compared to other desktop browsers. What you don’t seem to acknowledge is that their growth is in Opera Mini, and I haven’t seen any reliable third-party metrics on that with regards to market share. (possibly because of the way the browser uses a proxy).
As far as your rant about “no major pages work in opera,” you’re just throwing out FUD now.
