Now we know how it worked out: Chrome has somewhere around a 3% marketshare.

Opera’s 2% marketshare isn’t a lot. But -thinking about it- THAT
is about the same (slightly higher, actually) than Linux penetration
of the consumer desktop market !

So, maybe, Opera’s 2% ain’t all that bad.

But it is so beta-version. But because of Google slapped on it - it is not treated as such. Thanks for visiting and commenting by the way. :) @Kifli

It’s not that Chrome is bad. But it is so beta-version. But because of Google slapped on it – it is not treated as such.

Thanks for visiting and commenting by the way. :)
