You work a decade to build a trendsetting browser, even the first with tabs, and what happens? In two days you’re kicked aside for a Johnny-come-lately that doesn’t even have a sidebar, let alone one with more options than any other browser. I’m talking about the much-loved but little-used Opera, which already has taken a backseat to Google’s mere 2-day-old infant of a browser, Chrome.
