Unite is a set of client-side, peer-to-peer sharing services with centralized naming and routing services hosted by Opera. The rabbit they produced recently is called Opera Unite and it is available as an alpha release. Thus the scene was set for Opera to try to pull a rabbit out of its hat. In short, Opera is a solid contender but commands a limited market share. Opera, which is free, cross platform (interestingly it's the only browser that is available for Nintendo game consoles) has always been an excellent browser. That said, Opera has had greater success in the smartphone and PDA markets and Adobe adopted Opera's layout engine in a number of the products in their Creative Suite product lines. (Note that Opera has been very successful in Russia where it commanded a market share of around 20%.) Over the last few months we've seen minor new features launched in both Firefox and Internet Explorer and Google's Chrome has taken some big steps forward in stability.Ī runner-up in the browser race has been the Opera browser which, while its been around for over 12 years, has never managed to get a general (Windows, OS X, Linux) market share greater than 2.4%. Someone is always trying out The Next Great Browser Thing hoping to gain advantage and market share through some, theoretically, unique feature set.
The world of Web browsers is never quiet.
