Opera Mini and Mobile dump Yahoo, go back to Google

By the Betanews Staff | Published February 29, 2008, 2:23 PM

Web browsing software company Opera today announced that its free Opera Mini and its Opera Mobile browser will once again have Google as the default search engine.

While Google has been the default search for Opera's desktop browser for nearly seven years, Yahoo was only a partner for a year, going live as the mobile software's default search in early 2007. User responses to that switch were mixed. On March 1, Opera will change back to having the default search as Google.

That's fine but I'd rather they'd eliminate the crashing Mini first and worry about the searching later.

I would change your java if it's possible on your phone. I switched to Esmertec java, zero crashes, and full-screen browsing.

Goolge being the top search engine makes total sense, plus off course for Opera a useful revenue model created too - same as Firefox;)
