Opera moves to WebKit and V8Opera moves to WebKit and V8Posted Feb 15, 2013 23:58 UTC (Fri) by philipstorry (subscriber, #45926)In reply to: Opera moves to WebKit and V8 by josh Parent article: Opera moves to WebKit and V8
Oh, here you'll find no disagreement from me.
Idiot web designers will be idiot web designers. And they'll assume WebKit means Safari, or that it means a mobile device. And they'll code for prefixed CSS but do it incompletely and sloppily.
I can't really do anything but condemn that.
But on the other hand, if these idiots can't even handle Chrome also using WebKit, then why does it matter if Opera is using Presto or WebKit?
They were going to support Opera badly either way. Just like they were going to support Chrome badly, or non-mobile WebKit instances badly.
Idiot web designers will be idiot web designers. :-(

It matters because they can get away with it more easily if WebKit has a larger market share. Similarly, the larger the market share of Linux and OS X, the less easily people can get away with exclusively targeting Windows.
