The Spoon Browser Sandbox lets you run all popular web browsers, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera, directly from the web, with no installs.

la plateforme Opera Unite utilise un serveur web dans un navigateur internet. De ce fait, aucune différence entre le client et le serveur, l'ordinateur devient un « tout à la fois »… Plus besoin de passer par un serveur pour effectuer un partage de fichier. Le mot téléchargement pourrait donc bien être banni du vocabulaire… Pour schématiser, Opera Unite nommera d'une URL chacun de vos fichiers. Ainsi, il suffit de communiquer cette information pour que quelqu'un de votre entourage puisse récupérer les dits fichiers. Opera Unite présente aussi un avantage non négligeable : les données échangées demeurent stockées sur votre machine et nulle part ailleurs.

Rather than view it as a game-changer, Fatal Exception's Neil McAllister sees Opera Unite as a Hail Mary bid for Opera to stay in the game. After all, in an era when even vending machines have Web servers on them, a Web server on the Web browser isn't really that groundbreaking. What Opera is attempting is to 'reintermediate' the Internet — 'directly linking people's personal computers together' by making them sign up for an account on Opera's servers and ensuring all of their exchanges pass through Opera's servers first. 'That's an effective way to get around technical difficulties like NAT firewalls, but more important, it makes Opera the intermediary in your social interactions — not Facebook, not MySpace, but Opera,' McAllister writes. In other words, Opera hopes to use social networking as a Trojan horse to put traditional apps back in charge.

My name is Lawrence Eng, and, as a product analyst for Opera Software, my job is to understand our users and what they need, so we can serve them better. Today, I will share my thoughts on Opera Unite, a new Opera technology that I’m extremely excited about. I’ve been an avid Opera user since 2001 and have seen the numerous innovations Opera has introduced to dramatically improve the experience of Web browsing. Of all the new features we’ve introduced over the years, none of them have filled me with as much anticipation as Opera Unite. This technology is a radical first step towards addressing what I call “the Internet’s unfulfilled promise”, which is about our ability to connect with each other and participate meaningfully online—on our own terms, and without losing control of our data

Dial-up connections and flaky Wi-Fi are made significantly more tolerable with Opera 10, it seems. After yesterdays news that Opera 10's first beta had landed, some testing was in order. One major new feature is Opera Turbo — server-side compression — which shrinks pages before sending them down your browser. With a 100Mbps connection throttled to a laughable 50Kbps, Opera 10 proved itself to outperform every other desktop browser on the planet, and there are graphs to prove it. Javascript benchmarks put the new browser in fourth place overall, after Chrome 2, Safari 4 and Firefox, but it indeed passes the Acid3 test with a perfect score. If you ever use a laptop on public Wi-Fi, to not have Opera 10 installed could be a big mistake

Opera allows you to easily drag-n-drop custom buttons from a web page straight onto your toolbars! How to add a button - Simply drag a link to your toolbar. How to remove a button - Right-click on the button How to edit a button - Quick way to change a button without editing toolbar.ini: instead of dragging from the installer pseudolink (as it actually is) to a toolbar, bookmark it. The button-defining URL is captured - rightclick the bookmark, and select Edit Properties: by editing what's in the bookmark's URL field you can change the icon or modify the action - then drag from the bookmark to a toolbar to install the changed button. (Bookmarked installer URLs also provide an unlimited and organizable way to store buttons.) Where to place buttons - The Personal bar and Menu bar do not allow buttons to be added to them, but the Status bar, Main bar, Navigation bar, Address bar, the ends of the Page bar, most Panel toolbars and the Mail View bars are all fine.
