unalone, you're very much correct but there's a nerd skepticism about anything related to "marketing" because nerd populations typically are comprised of people who have a hard time with social soft skills and marketing is the ultimate soft-skill trade.

Nerds, like every other group, denigrate what they lack/have difficulty with, thus the bleating for naked facts... in direct contrast to how human beings work, of course, but c'est la vie.

I actually wrote an article comparing the browser landing pages for Vitamin, based on a talk I did at OSCON (about UX in general). You might find it interesting: http://thinkvitamin.com/features/product-pages-so-much-suck-...

Opera by far had the worst, and even their new improved one was ineffective (altho better than before).

Their current one really rips everything off Apple and Firefox's old design, but they can't even be bothered to do it right.

BTW, fact-seekers, does Opera actually Make You Faster? It is really Safer Internet? Is it true that Opera is Internet browser innovation?

Just checking.
