Opera: Firefox user figures 'inflated'


Recommended Posts

It is evident that the person responsible for this mud-slinging is the journalist.The journalist had asked Jon about FF and Opera's market share during the chat and Jon gave his opinion on that.What he said was only 1 line.Yet the author chose to make a whole story out of that.He didnt even mention the other things discussed in the interview.

In Havard's(Opera employee) words

Maybe a term one could use for this kind of reporting is "Flamebait Journalism". Jon actually had a long talk with the journalist, but it seems that they decided to only pick out certain things to make it sound like he was attacking Firefox.

Cheap mud-slinging is what Asa does,not Jon.Spreading lies is something which is more associated with Firefox(eg.Minimo campaign)

The sad part is some people may decide to not use Opera because of this article. You should NEVER use a product based on something a CEO might say in passing, or the PR department does. Use a product for the product.
