<i>Agreed. Now, what's the argument for optimizing for a browser that has a
*0%* market share, namely Opera?</i>
I do believe the argument for optimizing for Opera is that it uses the W3C
HTML standard as opposed to all the add-ons to the standard that the other
browsers have. This way it sort of makes Opera the real defacto browser
because if something doesn't show in Opera chances are it won't show in
either one (or both) of the major browsers.
I use Opera and I think it's a wonderful browser. It's fully customizable
and all that stuff, but I don't specifically design my sites for Opera.
Simply because I'm sort of limited with what I can and cannot do. (I believe
they are still using the HTML 3.2 standard.)
Unless, of course you had a site with a high number of hit from people with
Opera.
I think this is what it all comes down to... Know your customers. If most of
them use Opera, or MSIE, or NN then you design for whichever is the most
prevalent browser(s).
