Opera web browser re-invents meaning of word "re-invent"
Opera gained fame for being a featured web browser that consumed a minimum of memory. It fit on a floppy disk, and it ran on mobile devices. Trying to regain a place in the spotlight, Opera announced it would be re-inventing the web. Now that its secret is out I am underwhelmed.
Opera Unite offers users an expanding library of peer-to-peer facilities. One of these allows the self-publishing of your own web sites without needing to set up a web host or upload files to it.
I don’t doubt there is utility in these services. Opera should be commended for thinking about how to allow ordinary folk to easily share photos and files with family and friends (assuming the hoster’s upload bandwidth doesn’t make it a punishing experience.)
Yet, I don’t find this worthy of the lofty claim that the Internet has been re-invented.
