I'm sorry, but I fail to understand your grief about Opera. They've been nothing if not standard compliant since before most people had internet access. Not to mention the huge amount of not-PC-hardware they have provided a browser for (Opera Mini for feature phones, Opera for TV's with internet, Opera for Nintendo DS, DSi, 3DS)

"They have just a few percent of the market and they expect us to write special CSS codes just for them."
