Opera Preps For More Browser Battles
With Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s Chrome garnering much attention, and Firefox continuing to eat into Internet Explorer's still-dominant market share, Opera sometimes may get overlooked. The company's co-founder and CEO spoke with Informationweek about how Opera is positioning itself for a renewed browser war.
"Our overall philosophy remains the same: We want the browser to adapt to your way doing things instead of the opposite," Opera's CEO Jon von Tetzchner said. This means the company will continue to innovate with its products to make a user's Web browsing more efficient, he said. He pointed to tabbed browsing and memory use as pioneering elements of Opera that have found their way to the competition. He said the latest version has improved speeds, quick mouse gestures, as well as Opera Link, which enables a user to sync bookmarks, browsing history, and notes among multiple devices.
Opera heard many gloom and doom scenarios when Google made its high-profile entry into the field, but results have been positive so far.
"Downloads have gone up 20% since Chrome's been launched," von Tetzchner said.
