Blake Ross on Opera, Firefox

Daniel Goldman, Opera Tech Evangelist, has a great interview with Blake Ross, one of the founders of the Phoenix project (which resulted in what we know today as Firefox).

Blake gives his views on topics such as the rivalry between some Firefox and Opera users: “Let’s just agree that Firefox stole features from Opera, Opera stole features from Firefox, Opera is a better embedded browser (congratulations on Wii), both are fantastic browsers, Asa is a troll; and get back to serving the people.”

He goes on sharing his opinion on some specific Firefox and Opera features, the idea of open sourcing Opera, and future development. An interesting read filled with Blake’s usual common sense.
