This move is about the most stupid thing that has *ever* happened. It will take a decade to turn this thing back. The Developers that did not support all other prefixes(reasons for this in a sec) will now *never* support any other prefix. Why should they, browsers are fixing this for them, they will say. This is just not the correct way to deal with this problem and, this is a very important point, developers are not to blame. Who makes the decision to support only iOS? Developers? Oh no no! Do not give me this crap! I make mobile stuff with quite a big regularity, and the managers above my head that make the decisions always cut of all other devices/OSes/Browsers for money and time reasons. I can not do anything about that. And i am not the only one in this position. Developers are *NOT* to blame for this. Device and OS-makers are. There is no way in hell a small-mid sized project is getting tested in a bagillion android devices on a bagillion browsers. Then there is the absoluty awful differences between webViews and Browsers on *all* mobile devices(i can not speak for PhoneSeven because we do not test on those, so i have no experience with it). Additionally there is no decent way of getting debugging done. Mobile Chrome is the first to finally support RemoteDebugging but this is merely a drop of water in the burning hell that is MobileDebugging. What Opera is doing is unresponsible and so incredibly false – i can not even my deep anger for Opera. They are not able to make a decent browser and wont fix extremely urgent bugs that kill behaviour so that sites support IE6/7+ but not Opera, and now they do the most hurtful thing to the web since the MS Development stop? Wow Opera, way do get hatred. I will stop supporting Opera if this hits a Stable browser. Users will get a message that will tell them how much this browser hurts the open web, and hopefully, many people will deny Opera users to watch their site so that Opera finally goes out of the business of making the web worse..
