    Vot.ed

    Except I didn't vote for Opera on the Android app front; ShopSavvy is way better. Opera Mini on Android doesn't quite work properly.

    Voted for desktop!

    I didn't vote for Android since we don't have the Android version. Opera mini is just... Opera Mini, and it's not even version 5, but rather old 4.2.

    I've got half this country's mobile users voting for Mini. It's simply the best, kinda like me.

  • NicoWednesday, February 24, 2010 3:07:58 PM

  • Rafael LuikWednesday, February 24, 2010 4:13:03 PM

    I vote about one or two times a day since the first day I knew about this competition. :p:

  • Cutting SpoonWednesday, February 24, 2010 4:43:15 PM

    LAWD Safari's votes have not broken the 0% threshold!

    Opera 48, Firefox 43, Chrome 5, IE 1. Good thing nobody put "vote chrome!" on the front of google.com

    EDIT:
    Think about it this way: Together, Mini and Mobile hold more than 60% of the vote! That's what we call "total dominance"

  • Sami SerolaThursday, February 25, 2010 6:58:02 AM

    Poll closed, and it looked good for Opera one hour before closing :smile:

  • NiniaThursday, February 25, 2010 8:15:44 AM

    Super ok

  • AdelThursday, February 25, 2010 4:02:40 PM

    Opera :up:

  • Cutting SpoonThursday, February 25, 2010 10:58:08 PM

    Care to bet that they will declare Chrome #1 on desktop and Fennec #1 on mobile?

  • Dark FurieThursday, February 25, 2010 11:05:26 PM

    There's no way anyone would declare Fennec as the best for mobile. Hell, with 966 votes, that's almost their entire user base that has voted already. As for Chrome, it's still not ready for public use as far as I'm concerned.

  • Cutting SpoonThursday, February 25, 2010 11:07:53 PM

    And I'm totally with you on that. I'm just speaking from history, many times a poll will close and announce a wild upset from the publicly visible results.

  • nightweelsThursday, February 25, 2010 11:43:18 PM

    cutting spoon can be right. there is maybe no justice!
    but no matter what is the result... we know how is the best!

  • PfelelepMonday, March 1, 2010 6:16:55 AM

    opera wins in many categories! :bigsmile:
