Talk:Opera (company)

message: It doesn't seem clear to me from the page, and it is a rather important question which should be answered on a wikipedia page about a company! All that I could tell is they get their money from Opera Mobile? Everything else seems to be free. Doesn't seem quite right that is their only source of income, or is it actually so?

replies: text: The same way Mozilla corp makes money - by letting companies bid against each other for product placement in the browser.  The fact that there's an Amazon search bar in the initial settings is no accident. Opera also does a lot of licensing to non-computer applications, like the Kocom wall mounts, or hotel peripherals, etc. And then there's $12 million settlement against Microsoft.

text: I won't edit the article itself, being an employee, but Opera's sources of revenue are found in the financial reports on our investor relations page  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.236.208.22 (talk) 10:17, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

text: This should maybe be mentioned explicitly in the article, I too was wondering how exactly they made their revenue whether services or through ad deals. If no one else wants to add something I'll give it a go within the week IRWolfie- (talk) 19:42, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: How do they make money?

message: There are some facts about the subject (mainly users, financials etc) that are a bit outdated. I work for Opera, so I'd just point out some sources where you can get fresh numbers of users and financial figures, instead of editing the article (to be in compliance with the Wikipedia guidelines):
Mobile users numbers are found in the monthly published State of the Mobile Web report: http://www.operasoftware.com/smw
Total user numbers for the combined user base of mobile + desktop users are found in the press releases toward the bottom of each release: http://www.operasoftware.com/press
Financial figures can be found quarterly in the financial reports published here: http://www.operasoftware.com/company/investors  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paalu-z (talk • contribs) 14:34, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article title 

message: Added  tag, while various issues signalled at User talk:Fayenatic london#CFD results: Opera Software apparently aren't getting sorted. The article is about Opera Software, making it about Otello Corporation is a WP:COATRACK issue. Afaik "Opera Software ASA" never existed: "Opera Software AS" exists, but was apparently never acquired by the Otello Corporation. "Opera ASA" apparently was, but that is (currently) apparently unrelated to "Opera Software", the topic of this article. Prior connections between "Opera ASA" and "Opera Software" can be elucidated in the article, but the holding having acquired "Opera ASA" has nothing to do with "Opera Software", so should not dominate this article. --Francis Schonken (talk) 10:31, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Coatrack

message: The Norwegian Wikipedia currently has two articles for Otello and for Opera Software AS, see https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opera_Software . 
Otellocorp.com states that Otello is a listed holding company with mobile advertising, apps & games including AdColony, Bemobi and Skyfire. Assuming it's notable, it needs a separate article in English Wikipedia. If notability is unclear, it needs a separate section in this Opera article. – Fayenatic London 07:17, 9 May 2018 (UTC)

Hindenburg Research has an financial incentive to defame companies in order to make themselves money. Wikipedia should remove or edit this paragraph as it obviously is not an neutral or reputable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 100.12.216.122 (talk) 05:26, 4 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Hindenburg Research paragraph should be removed or edited

message: Thank you for your attention to this. Dating back to 13 February 2020, there have been a series of disruptive edits and edit wars. The disruptive edits have involved section blanking, unfounded reverts or poorly sourced revisions by redlinked or IP users targeting the Controversy section to discredit the company, neglecting to give due weight to the company’s response. Any good faith attempt to adhere to WP:NPOV and WP:RS for this section has been undone almost immediately. Following this series of activity, the page was tagged, citing vandalism, in January 2021, and I reported a user for vandalism as of 31 January 2022, after my edits were reverted multiple times and the editor refused to respond to my talk page messages. This page should be semi-protected for these reasons. Heartmusic678 (talk) 13:27, 1 February 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: This relates to my comment at this WP:RFPP permalink request for semi-protection. I semi-protected the article for one month (it had not been protected before). I see that the disagreements are at least a year old and need to be discussed on this page rather than with a slow edit war. Let me know if further problems arise—try a ping from this section to remind me, but only if needed. Johnuniq (talk) 02:53, 2 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Is there a way to see if other registered users with similar names (for instance, 2 word names) made similar edits to similar pages with a similar timeframe? I'm at least mildly suspicious about the removal I reverted on this page the other day. It seems like the sort of removal that could be in a Chinese PR campaign, and I think it happened while the semi-protection discussed earlier this month was not active. Please let me know if I'm worrying over nothing, I'd love to go back to just doing WikiGnome things... but my Infosec awareness is getting the better of me here.--Macks2008 (talk) 20:06, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Opera Limited does not offer any products, nor does Opera Limited generate income, so this is a null point. Being a Norwegian company, they pay taxes in Norway.
