Quick Question

Please read the following exchange, and tell me whether you think the response is inflammatory:

So what is opera? i thought it was gecko as well?

Opera Software is a company in Norway that makes its own, closed source, niche browser for desktops and small devices. They’re not based on Gecko.

(For those not familiar with it, Gecko is the “back-end” part of Mozilla, which is open-source. It’s the engine that handles displaying web pages in Mozilla, Firefox, and other spin-offs.)

I’ll link to the source after I’ve gotten some responses, but the context is a post containing browser traffic statistics.
