Opera has become the first non-native web browser to arrive in the Mac App Store, and as per Apple’s normal policies has been slapped with a 17+ age rating. That’s not upsetting VP of desktop products Jan Standal, however, who sees the classification – deemed necessary by Apple since all the filthy internet is viewable through a browser – as the perfect opportunity for a joke. “I’m very concerned,” Standal says, “seventeen is very young, and I am not sure if, at that age, people are ready to use such an application.”
“It’s very fast, you know, and it has a lot of features” he continues, concluding “I think the download requirement should be at least 18.” Opera Software suggest that those without Mac App Store access should head over to their site and download the browser the old fashioned way. Just be careful not to stumble over anything unsavory on your travels.
