There's have to be competition for that to take place. In the article I linked, they even said the exact thing I always said. Opera is better because it has everything you want already, no need for extensions. Do a search in this forum and see how many threads pop up daily with problems with firefox, compared to how many total have popped up for opera. And opera is free so don't even start.

But do we know how many people are even using Opera, it's possible there's only 3 of you =)

You started and no it's not. If it was why would they have to give the schools a free site license?

Opera is not free, in any sense of the word. It does not work on the same platforms as firefox/mozilla (please point out an OpenBSD/SPARC version, or just an OpenBSD version). I don't use ANY extensions with firefox/Mozilla.

Supports lots of platforms

If opera wasn't free, it would have a buy now button, not a download now button. Download it, all features enabled, no countdowns, no popup buy now ads, nothing. It works free 24/7.

Then why did they feel the need to grant the schools a site license for a free product?

There is nothing for (these are just the ones I use that aren't on the list):
OpenBSD/SPARC
OpenBSD/Sparc64

I'm guessing the MacOS version is Mac OS X, but it doesn't specify...
