Opera Dragonfly

(1/5) > >>

nontroppo:

In a recent interview with Dave Storey (chief web-opener at Opera) in a Norwegian paper, some astute readers noticed a pamphlet on his desk for a new project from Opera, called Dragonfly (or the Dragonflyer). Dave is not leaking many more details, but we may see more info coming soonish:

My money is on the set of web-developer tools they are developing. The interface is already set up in preferences:

opera:config#DeveloperTools|EnableDebugging

Another idea is of some kind of peer-2-peer interface hinted at in an older interview some months ago. Anyone care to guess what the Dragonflyer may be?

The URL for the Opera holding page:  http://www.opera.com/dragonfly/

My guess is that they're getting Yngwie Malmsteen for the Opera project ;D

I don't know, I prefer to be surprised. As long as it's something that does not make me cry (</Scoble>), weird hype it's not good :)

What intrigues me is why he has so many Internet Explorer 7 references in his desk...

Why don't people google the web before coming up with codenames for their projects? I thought this was going to be a specific port of Opera :)

Perhaps Opera Dragonfly will replace the fast, efficient Presto renderer with IE8's bloated core? ;)
