Allow alternative browsers like Opera Mobile to enter the Marketplace

Many other users of Opera and Windows Phone 7 owners are looking into this, and I hope for them to vote supporting this suggestion to get your attention.

Thanks for opening this contact channel Microsoft, it's great to see you're looking for feedback. I wish contacting you about other products was that easy.

        When I switch from Android to Wp8 , the most dissappointing for me : No Opera mini . I NEED THE TEXT RE-FLOW feature on that browser . Please improve IE with text re-flow or let Opera port their Mini to Wp8

        Its the same policy on iOS and yet opera and others ported it. Blame devs, not Microsoft.

        IE for Windows Phone has limited features.
        Opera web browser for cellphones is a good option

        If I cannot read Facebook, newspaper and blog in my mother language then windows phone 7 is almost useless. Please allow the worlds best browser opera for windows mobile 7.

        dont afraid other advanced browsers microsoft, ie10 is very useless

        They are pretty much useless.. IE10 is the best browser I've seen on any mobile.. get with it. Safari is dumb, Google chrome is next to total uselessness.. And we have nokia xpress browser that does the job of opera mini pretty much fine.

        There are a couple third-party browsers (UC Browser and SurfCube).
        I agree, though, that Opera Mobile is kind of a given.

        Though IE on WP8 is quite good, there is plenty of room for improvement. Meanwhile, let others enter the competition.

        I want chrome so my bookmarks and tabs open on other devices can be synced.

        If Microsoft is not capable of providing the most basic features in today's Market, They should let someone else do like Google did, or they are definitely heading for failure.
