Google and Opera sticking it out for 2 more years

Really.

And just which other search engine would be a better option to set up? Users are so used to Google, that many would change BROWSERS, just because this one doesn't come with Google out the box. So Opera would be silly to change to a different SE.

Out of interest sake, which SE is closest to Google on a popularity basis? Bing? Yahoo?
 
There is also the Bing search box that Opera installs as default on their speed dial page.

Here... my stash of Opera installers, going back to version 6.05!!

What I'm wondering is when a big player like Google is going to pick up Dolphin browser - easily the coolest mobile/touchscreen-optimised browser on Android today.

None other comes even close... (oh sorry, popularity basis, I think Bing is the closest - but that's just because it's the default on windows installs, and facebook uses bing - the results are horrendous though)

Opera makes money off of ad clicks originating from searches from the browser...same as business model as mozilla
