Common sense....
Anyone who has the least bit, will know that no browser is perfect. Just think, had Netscape won the browser wars, they may be in the hot seat right about now (Because like IE, Netscape is owned by AOL is is a company no to different that Microsoft). People just have to use the most secure browser available to them AT THE TIME. I bet 20 years from now, IE, Firefox, or Netscape will be around, Opera, I'm not sure about.

Who cares if Opera survives? Its DNA will.
Opera may not survive, I agree (but you should check its IPO, oversold 20 times... <a class="jive-link-external" href="http://www.opera.com/company/investors/finance/2004/1Q04.dml" target="_newWindow">http://www.opera.com/company/investors/finance/2004/1Q04.dml</a>). But if it dies, I do not care. Anyway my money is on Microsoft buying Opera... once it realizes is the best PDA browser. ;-)

Opera is the last browser to be constructed. It is the only one of the common browsers that it is not based on NCSA Mosaic, written in a clear slate. Maybe Opera will die but its DNA will survive: page zoom (yes, I know you do not know what it is), a multi-document interface browsing environment and mouse gestures, small footprint, great support for HTML, XML, WML, CSS (one of the best implementations), JavaScript, DOM and Java, RSS, mail client, you name it. Firefox is still a year behind, at least.

Lying about market share...
"If I were a hacker, I'd ignore the browser with 0.5% share, too."

Actually, Opera has 1-2 per cent in the US and around 5 per cent in many European countries.

Anyway, security experts are very busy looking for holes in Opera. That's just a fact your lies cannot get around.
