Nah, the guy is a respected nerd. Opera is pretty fast but the ads suck. Luckily there's Firefox which is nearly as fast (neglible, indeed) and free.

Don't forget that firefox has an extensions API and Opera, well, doesn't.

Don't forget that some of the most popular firefox extensions are rips of Opera features.

Good thing they've got the extension feature, I mean... We all need a "BANDWIDTH TEST!!!" button that doesn't even work, or an "Mp3 player!!!" further cluttering the interface.

Edit: Here are the top-rated firefox extensions:

1. autocopy (Opera does better)
2. ChatZilla IRC (Opera has had IRC in the browser for years.)
3. ConQuery (Copy of an Opera feature.)
4. DictionarySearch (Of course Opera has had this for years.)
5. Disable Targets for Downloads (Old.)
..Tabbed browsing (Opera feature)

Why would you want to download some piece of shit called Firefox when you have to download a million other things just to make it seem like it has half the features of Opera? Stupid cunts.

There are already three browsers on OS X that have aqua native widgets. There's no way I'd bother to download opera even to try if it doesn't
