Opera Hopes Company to Remain Independent [reuters.com]

Opera Software ASA chief executive Jon von Tetzchner:

When asked whether he sees Opera as an independent company in five years' time, he said: "Hopefully. If we would be bought by someone it would probably very much limit our ability to play the role that we play."

It sounds as though he's fishing for a take-over. ;)
I can't recall any serious acquisition talk involving Opera to date. Has there been any?
