Seems like it to me, and to some degree that’s fair enough given that Opera has offered much of what Firefox offers for years now. The thing is, while it seemed quite fast and feature-laden last time I tried, Opera isn’t free. You’ve got to cough up or suffer ads.

They’ve certainly got more business sense than Netscape ever did (for example their mobile stuff is doing well) but fact is they’ll never be as big as even Firefox because the only business model open to them limits their market. And, well, that’s tough really.
