My successor as Opera’s CEO, Lars Boilesen, wanted to focus on the development of new businesses within the company. On the other hand, my goal from day one was to build products that users will grow fond of. So, after my departure, the company focused on acquisitions of other companies which operate in different areas, most notably in the advertising industry. They not only changed the focus of the main product, but also changed the focus of the entire company.
