However, a funny thing happened &#8211; it opened in Opera. That&#8217;s not necessarily funny in itself, but it is when you consider that I&#8217;ve never installed Opera. I use Safari, and since installing Leopard I haven&#8217;t yet had to test any websites with other browsers. A quick investigation showed that Opera was actually installed as part of Adobe Bridge. Click the image below to see the Opera binary sat happily in a sub-directory of the Bridge installation.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-99\" title=\"Opera browser sat happily in the Adobe Bridge folder\" src=\"http:\/\/www.haydnwilliams.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/06\/20080618.jpg\" alt=\"Opera browser sat happily in the Adobe Bridge folder\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>My initial thoughts were that it would be something to do with displaying help, but according to a couple of other blog posts and the comments in them (<a title=\"There's an Opera in my Bridge\" href=\"http:\/\/nslog.com\/2007\/10\/17\/theres_an_opera_in_my_bridge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">example<\/a>), it seems to be used to preview how things will display on mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s really the end of the world as far as I&#8217;m concerned, I just thought it weird that I wasn&#8217;t asked or told about it during the Bridge install (at least, as far as I know I wasn&#8217;t!).
