I wish them best of luck. Opera is a company that deserves more success and attention than they are getting.

I agree with this, I just wish they'd open source more of their technology. It's sad that they've spent time creating things like a blazing fast Javascript engine from scratch, and nobody else can make use of it.

Their tech is impressive yes.

I contacted them some time ago to see whether I could license some of their libraries for a project that I was working but they're quite hard to get hold of and never got back to me.
