Comparing Opera and Firefox is like comparing apples and oranges, in a sense, as they are very different products. Let me also say that I think Firefox is a nice looking browser, and it works nicely for its use.

We think of Opera as a swiss army knife, or a leatherman multi-tool for the Web - it is light, handy, and has a wide range of tools that make your life easier. Firefox is a basic tool kit, and when you add on functionality to match the level of functions you have in Opera, you're lugging a big, heavy, tool box around.

Opera Watch: Have you ever been approached by Microsoft or any other major company with an offer to purchase your company or your products?
Opera: Yes, we have been approached by major companies but Opera's CEO, Jon von Tetzchner, has always declined the offers, no matter the dollar size, and maintained his commitment to offering the best Internet experience to everyone on any device.
