Feh, turning this into a pissing competition is unneeded.

Bug rates on Opera *may* be lower than those on firefox/internet
explorer/safari etc.

But that does help establish your point - that opera is something that
needs little testing unless *those other browsers* have already been
established as having bug rates below whatever threshold is considered
relevant.

Not that bug rates are a good indication of whether a new build of a
piece of software *needs testing*. Having few reported bugs may simply
be an indication that that software is heavily tested before
releases :).
