Not unexpected. Opera has a giant issue with remaining viable going forward.
On the cost side - There is an increasing investment across the board by other browser vendors. Coupled with more extensive marketing.
On the revenue side - They have negligeble share on the PC side. And the mobile market is moving from an operator controlled (where Opera thrives by charging operators) to one where browsers are already included.
Opera needs to find a way to be relevant in the new and inevitable future.
