Like an ice skating couple

Hallvors has written a nice article about a subtle metaphor depicting how web pages and browsers can interact and work together to deliver a positive experience (or how they can work against each other ruining it all).

Imagine this: the browser and the website are like an ice skating couple. When they follow the choreography and are used to working together, the effect can be dazzling and we feel like we can watch or surf forever.

I think Opera is one of the most exquisite and intelligent dancers out there. It is a pity that is being misunderstood by some dancing partners.

I won't tell you more, go and read it yourself, and continue reading his blog, which is great if you're interested in web standards and Opera.
