Maybe why Opera isn't 2nd, 3rd in the world?

By Net Applications 2010 Marchreport Opera have 2.37% of browsers market and Chrome 6.13%. Why more more 'younger' browser get nearly 3 times more?
In my simply user opinion - major thinks comes from small pieces:
^ Topic about why not remember zoomed page is 5 years old and no official answer from Opera's team.
^ How many topics in forum about new intelligent bar's non sense? Search web -> bookmarks - > history.
^ Why Opera can't remember what was wrote in fields? Use scripts is not an option.
^ Why I need to press 2nd time 'save' button?
^ No normal search in address bar if not ticket 'Remember content in visited page'. Why can't be only search in web pages addresses? I'm not a programmer and don't know - is so hard to make search only in web page addresses?
-----
But not so everything wrong with Opera, I really love thumbnails in tab, spacebar ->jump down in page, customizing keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures, email.

And for end - no one sooooo much cares who was first in world make browser's features (Opera first makes tabs - every browser takes it, Opera first makes mouse gestures - FF, Chrome (and others) takes it, Opera first makes 'creat search' - FF takes it) etc. For regular people no important which browser introduces features first - more more important what can browser can give.
It will be glad hear from Opera's team some answers at least in this thread, but I guess this one from fairytale smile

Because they are flawed

Be helpful to the shyman, and be wary of the slyman.
Be guidance to the blindman, and be thankful to the kindman.

Because Chrome is being spammed all over the web through Google's advertising monopoly. Opera is an independent browser and can't rely on Google's revenue for growth.

Despite this Opera has grown to 50 million desktop users just four years after they removed the ads.

Never mind the fact that the stats you are referring to are fatally flawed and basically useless.

All your claims are obviously nonsense. All of them are irrelevant pet bugs that have no real impact on the overall market share. You are too egotistical to look at the big picture.
