I will miss the “Douglas Crockford of browsers” | Christian Heilmann

Sat, 16 Feb 2013 00:56:41 +0000

I always called Opera the Douglas Crockford of browsers as it was ruthless in its implementation of standards. If something didn’t work in Opera there is a good chance that you did something wrong. Even better – fixing it in Opera in most cases meant looking at how the W3C standard meant things to work and write your code accordingly, which in most cases meant no change in other browsers, but cleaner code overall. Opera was my linting tool.

With Unity in the recent spot light and a little free time on my hands, I decided it was time to dabble with the Launcher API. What better combination that my two favorite pieces of software: Unity in Ubuntu and Opera!

Hallvord R. M. Steen - Most expensive javascript ever?

Wed, 22 Jul 2009 14:53:51 +0000

"However, one of the world's biggest hardware vendors - whose name every single reader will be familiar with, and whose hardware a good share of you will be using right now - apparently didn't do their homework. When Opera's sysadmin booted up the server to test its web-based administration interface, they came across a single JavaScript statement that managed to piss off everyone up to and including the CTO."

POW -- Plain Old Webserver :: Add-ons for Firefox

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:49:29 +0000

I'm sure Opera Unity is more than this, but it doesn't seem so radical. "Turn the web on its head with the Plain Old Webserver (POW), which adds a server to your browser."

No Opera Mini for the iPhone | Hardware 2.0 | ZDNet.com

Sat, 01 Nov 2008 16:57:16 +0000

Yikes. This is really making me hope that Android or Palm linux phones grow up fast. "It seems that the engineers at Opera developed a version of Opera Mini that would run on the iPhone (and the iPod touch), but this browser will never see light of day because Apple rejected it from the App Store."
