Anything innovative Opera announces is significant, because the other major browsers watch how they innovate to take ideas. Opera may be bloated, not a non-ideal browser (I’m posting this using Chrome, but I use firefox/safari at work), but they do come out with some great ideas that get pulled into the other major browsers.

Sadly, Opera hasn’s been a player for some time now. Don’t put your hopes up too much for this mega-announcement…
@Chris – funny!

I totally agree with Chris, and I’ve always found Opera was terrible to use, slow and bloated (IIRC, it had an email client, and a BitTorrent client built in!). Give me Firefox or IE over Opera any day.

Opera can bloviate all they want. This American citizen is voting with his mouse pointer and uninstalling the Opera browser in protest over their complicity along with their “fellow travelers” the European Commission in waging a stealth trade/tariff war on American companies like Microsoft and Intel. As an American, I will not fund European socialism and it’s importation to the good old USA, the greatest country to exist in history of planet earth!

Seems exciting – but I think Opera’s out of the browser war for now – Safari vs Firefox currently.
