No, developers are to blame. They started getting ahead of web standards and Opera have NO CHOICE in this situation. Alexander, start raging in mobile developers forums not here. Start raging in Safari and Chrome forums, because its their fault too to support specific WebKit implementations which resulted such mess. Opera got screwed in IE6 era, so they really won’t make the same mistake again. They need to make money and to do that they need users and if users will notice that most mobile websites are broken in Opera, guess what will they do? Og yes, they will say, I will keep using Opera because it supports standards. No. Mobile users will leave Opera and Opera will go bankrupt. Mozilla and IE also don’t have any choice in this situation because they got very little share in mobile browsers market, and to implement WebKit specific features is the only way to gain some traction. Of course, maybe after 2 or 3 years, when web technologies will become very messy, developers again will start pointing fingers to MS, App, Google or Opera. But, they are to blame this time.
