Don't worry, I have the same concerns. I have been using Opera since I  
first discovered it 15 years ago, around the same time as I first  
experienced the internet, and I wouldn't trust Facebook much having seen  
the ugly mess of their pages.

The points I was making however is that if Facebook are developing their  
own Android Smartphone then they would hardly stop developing Opera for  
Android and Linux - I suppose the fear is that it could become a browser  
with the interface simply centred around facebook, but it wouldn't make  
much business sense IMHO.
