It’s called logic, you should use it some time..

OK, so Microsft’s website is not working again for the new verion of Opera, so Opera comes out with their Muppet Browser as a protest. To quote:

“”We are saying that it is wrong to corrupt the Web and distort pages like Microsoft is doing by sending Opera browsers what seem to be intentionally distorted pages.”

So in protest of MS intentionally distorting what people see when they visit that site using Opera, you are distributing a browser that intentionally distorts Microsoft’s pages? If “it is wrong to corrupt the Web and distort pages like Microsoft is doing”, (and I’ll agree, it is) why isn’t it wrong to distribute a browser that essentially does the same thing?

Remember when there used to actually be people who took the moral high road? 🙂
