From the ‘Browser Wars’ files:
Opera today released version 10.10 of its namesake Opera web browser. The key new feature in it is something called Opera Unite, which is essentially a built-in web server.
Opera Unite has been in beta since June and I personally was not keen on the idea when it was announced. What Opera Unite enables users to do is to share content be it photos, music or otherwise directly from your PC via the browser.
Opera Unite turns the web browser, which by definition is supposed to ‘browse’ for content into a platform that can share and deliver content as well. It’s an idea that has profound implications for how the browser is viewed, used and secured.
