Dragonfly is in my opinion better than Webkits inspector. I love using it. Does anyone know what will happen to Dragonfly after the switch?

Dragonfly is tightly bound to Presto, so it's going away unless they rewrite it. And so far, according to the tweets, it looks like it's going away.

Opera value preposition was in that they provided a complete solution (rendering engine, network stack, filesystem integration, security, customizable UI, etc.) People and companies often picked up WebKit for their hardware platform without realizing how much stuff is there besides the renderer itself. As a result, they had to spend more time on porting the rest of the stack and were late to market. That's, for examp…

Two things I will really miss in Opera if they ever disappear - true MDI where no windows open outside the browser (not on by default anymore, but easy to get set up), and mouse gestures built into the browser. Extension based mouse gestures done in javascript are slow, and when the page is unresponsive, become unresponsive themselves.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The European mobile web market is 'immature'. #shithnsays

Not what I meant at all. I just meant that in my experience, the counties listed have relatively low median disposable incomes, and are generally not inclined to pay for web products.
