A game of ‘Opera tag’ - 5 things I’d like to see in Opera

Friday, July 27, 2007 3:04:00 AM

Daniel started a great thing with Blog tag: 5 things I’d like to see in Opera. If the spreading remains at the current speed it will be, well, let's count-guess, Millions of posts in quite a short while ... This has potential to get a hype (well, if it stops before we reach the Million we'll have to add another Opera tag question, maybe about 5 tips towards using the Opera browser).

I was tagged by: Claudio Santambrogio aka Csant, Non-Troppo, Pallab, Tobias Murano aka Tomu and Ayush.

Originally posted by Daniel Goldman:

Once you’ve been tagged by someone, share your list (on your blog) of 5 things you’d like to see in Opera

- looks like I have to post 5x5 points which actually came in handy as I already started wishes including a cluster of several things. Now I try to do 5 wishes each having about 5 somehow connected points.

A collection of links to many people's posts taking part in this Opera tag game can be found at the ChooseOpera blog. And Remco Lanting made a nice tagging tree.

Well, just when I was about finishing this post I got notice to be tagged another time by burnout426. Nonetheless I'll stick with 5x5 right now

Future Opera: Preferences on a webpage

Wednesday, July 11, 2007 10:09:17 PM

opera desktop, future, preferences, ideas

Index of my posts towards future Opera

When Opera copied Firefox's about:config and introduced Opera:config for advanced settings with Opera 9 I thought it is nice done but I also asked myself why they didn't take the whole thing further adding all the crowded settings of the preferences dialog together with the advanced Opera:config options and give it a nice and comfortable design. Get rid of this small preferences dialog window which I consider to be space inefficient, information hiding, likely to be unintuitive, inflexible on different screens and overall mostly harmful.

(Some) HTML5 already works in Opera9 (Merlin)

Monday, July 9, 2007 3:01:32 PM

opera desktop, HTML5

Besides video delivered in an experimental Opera build some more HTML5 elements are already supported in Opera9 Merlin: There is support for Canvas and Web Forms 2.0 which were added with Opera 9.0 Technology Preview 1 and audio. Since that time this seems to go pretty unnoticed in public. My attention was raised by a presentation of Anne van Kesteren for reboot 9.0 about HTML5.

This article doesn't provide deep research nor many details. I provide a whole bunch of links towards this topic. And you may find the examples for Web Forms 2.0 as impressive as I did.

What for?

What is it useful for if no other browser supports the same? FataL delivers one possible answer: for Opera Widgets!

Experimental Opera-video build with native Ogg Theora support

Wednesday, April 25, 2007 3:01:25 AM

Ogg Theora, Opera video, Review, opera desktop

Howcome (full name: Håkon Wium Lie) already presented Opera with build in video support (read Haavards post, watch a YouTube-video or the longer video posted by Daniel on Operawatch).

Recently an experimental Opera-video version for Windows with native support for Ogg Theora was made publicly available including some sample Theora video pages (OperaLabs, Howcomes page and Haavards post).

Although I'm not experienced with videos I had to go for this experiment and I think it is quite interesting and maybe it will help us to get rid at least a little bit of this nasty Flash world.

After Which browser fits you the best? I stumbled upon another list with browser comparisons (I saw it before and now I write about it):
