If Facebook Buys Opera, Will You Continue Using It?
There are rumors that the social networking giant, Facebook is planning to acquire Opera - the browser that claims to have about 200 million active users across the world. Facebook's plans are clear - they want to know your browsing history because that will enable them serve relevant advertisements to you, combined with all the profile data that they have for you.
The question I want to ask CEans is whether they'll use Opera browser (let's called "Facebook Browser") if FB acquires it?

Kishan GuptaNo, I don't think so. As Firefox and Chrome are best two options. If they made some thing very unique in there browser, then may be I think about it. Just for Facebook I am not going to change my web browser. -
Kaustubh KatdareI'd agree with #-Link-Snipped-# . I've tried using Opera for some time but I keep coming back to the Chrome & Firefox. For the last 4+ months, I've been using Chrome as my default browser. I switch to Firefox because of the Firebug plugin they have which is totally awesome to check various elements of web pages and try out changes on the fly.
It's going to be difficult for Facebook to make turn Opera into something that solves their purpose and also attract new users to it. Imagine browser showing you a login screen before you can start browsing stuff.
