Opera 'will reinvent the web' tommorow...

ShioriAkino · 15-06-2009, 09:00 PM

This better be good, whatever they're doing...

Website: Opera Software

Quote:

A mysterious web page, called "Freedom" in its URL, has appeared on Opera's site making the rather bold claim that, "[o]n June 16th at 9:00 a.m (CEDT), [the Norwegian company] will reinvent the Web." This sounds like hyperbole, but it has got people all over the Internet talking.

Some believe that this is the date the final for Opera 10 will be released, but others say that, however much promise that new version holds, it is unlikely to "reinvent the Web." Others speculate that it has something to do with Turbo, a manner of compressing web pages so that they load faster. The presence of clouds on the "Freedom" page has got some thinking that Opera is about to do something important with cloud computing.

One Opera employee writes enigmatically on Twitter, "We've put the internet on a USB stick so that you can always have a connection wherever you are!"

Checking the source code for the "Freedom" page exposes part of a hidden message that is slowly being revealed. As of today (June 13), the secret message reads: "We start our little story with the invention of the modern day [COLOR=#009600 ! important][COLOR=#009600 ! important]computer[/color][/color]. Over the years, the computers grew in numbers, and the next natural step in the evolution was to connect them together. To share things. But as these little networks grew, some computers gained more power than the rest and called themselves servers...".

Whatever the case, we are promised a webcast on June 16 in which Opera will tell us what it is all about. With the mystery and the growing hype, many will be counting on them to deliver something sensational.

Hmm..

BLaZiNgSPEED · 15-06-2009, 09:06 PM

I doubt whether it will be as good as Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Let's not de-rail this thread please folks.

I've tried Opera in the past both for testing and general use, but I found it to be my least favourite out of the popular browsers.

To 're-invent the web' is quite a big claim to make. It'll be interesting to see what exactly they have in store for us.

Eamer · 15-06-2009, 09:33 PM

Nice spelling of 'tomorrow' in your title by the way...

I actually quite liked using Opera when I used it years ago. Should be interesting to see what version 10 brings.

Posting on the forum is not an English test and a typo here and there isn't an issue. Please let's not derail threads by ending up off topic like this. If anyone finds that they have nothing constructive to add then there is no need to post in the thread.

'Off Topic' relates to the fact that it is non-EA Game related discussion, not that threads can and should be taken off topic.

I know

I was joking. Sense of humour and all that...

Bourbons3 · 16-06-2009, 12:03 AM

I've tried Opera before, and preferred Firefox. Unless this is a dramatic change, I won't be switching.

Allzo · 16-06-2009, 12:49 AM

I love using Opera, mainly for the Speed Dial thing and because of my super awesome skin I have for it.

Yeah, the skins do it for me

Can't wait for later

PrincessPTFO · 16-06-2009, 08:03 AM

Wow. How much hype that can be? very.

Like FF3's launch but the problems with FF3 keep getting worse.

Type in "Firefox Constantly Crashing" in google and you'll get a crapload of results.

I deal with two crashes per 24 hour period on my virgin FF3. used to deal with more, but the other problems get worse.

is there a browser that is worth a damn anymore?

janne1984 · 16-06-2009, 09:36 AM

Go Opera, best browser out there, IE, i dont understand people still using that, FF could be good if it didnt have memory issues and crashes.
