Blink is Google's fork of WebKit, which is being used in the upcoming versions of Chrome. Opera is using plain WebKit.

Actually, according this blog - http://my.opera.com/ODIN/blog/2013/05/28/a-first-peek-at-ope...

"It's called Opera Next 15 and it's based on Chromium 28 — which means that it comes with Blink on board"

Since they announced they'd been using Blink literally the same day Blink was announced, you should start listening to better sources. :P

Opera's workings change far too often to bother supporting it

They said they weren’t using Blink yet for the mobile browser, still Chromium though, not Webkit. I can see how someone might get confused.
