Opera Says It is Not for Sale
By
Representatives at the browser company deny an impending buyout from Google or Microsoft; analysts say Opera’s mobile technologies make the smaller firm attractive.
Eskil Sivertsen, a spokesperson for Opera, said his firm has not received any offers from either Microsoft or Google, and reported that the company was not being actively shopped to prospective buyers. Sivertsen said Opera has been approached by potential suitors in the past, but that the company plans to remain independent. Neither Microsoft nor Google officials immediately returned calls seeking comment on the rumored offers, and most media representatives appeared to have left for the holiday weekend.
