Opera promises to re-invent the web - Big “freedom” reveal planned for June 16. This is the online poster for “freedom”:
Opera Freedom: http://www.opera.com/freedom.
What will Opera do on June 16? Here are some possible predictions:
Prediction 1: Something about HTML5 / CSS3
It is very hard to change the Web Standard today, since there are dozens of web browsers using different cores, such as Gecko, WebKit and IE. All the web cores should have same changes at one time so that webpages for new Web Standard can be shown correctly in different browsers, then web designers can transfer. Opera used to be the king of web browser, but these years, it has faced strong competition from Firefox, Safari, Chrome, etc. It is possible for this web browser giant to do something about new Web Standard now. Also, I have found that Opera has a lack in support of HTML5 as many websites with new technologies cannot be displayed well in Opera.
Prediction 2: New web browser control method
Opera always wants to do incredible things. On this year’s April Fool, Opera has released a Face Recognition technology that comes with a set of diagrams to teach users how to use face to control the browser. Actually this is a joke. As well, Opera has Sound Recognition technology and so on. Is it possible for Opera to release a new control method on Freedom? I think it is possible.
Prediction 3: New Web Development Platform
This is a huge task, Rich Internet Applications are becoming more and more popular today. Currently, there are three main markets: Adobe (Flash and Flex), Microsoft (Silverlight) and Google (Javascript). Will Opera join this competition too? Probably Opera will release a new Web Development Platform to allow developers use a special technology (most probably Javascript) to develop RIAs. Now the most competitive web browser is Chrome, we can use APIs to develop state-of-the-art applications for Chrome now. I have remembered that Opera had said that HTML5 can make Flash useless, maybe the browser can add more features into HTML5 and do the things like Chrome does.
Opera will RE-INVENT the web! The focus is “Reinvent”, that means they will lead revolution. In this way, I think Prediction 3 may become the most probable one. But what will happen on Freedom? We can only wait till:
June 16th at 9:00 a.m (CEDT)
Time will tell.
If you have any other predictions more wonderful than mine, show it up, leave comment below.

<!– We start our little story with the invention of the modern day computer. Over the years, the computers grew in numbers, and the next natural step in the evolution was … –>
in page source, CLOUD ON THE PAGE, and its RED FOR COMMUNISM, and freedom in the url.
its clear some kind of open source cloud computing initiative you stupid fucks
I am 12 years old and what is this
what does this mean ? I'm using opera now.
Oh. I didn't know Google invented Javascript and IE's rendering engine was called “IE.” /s
Seriously though. I'm pretty sure Opera won't contribute to the mess that Adobe and Microsoft have made on the web.
They will release either a new (hopefully open) API, if that's what you mean, or just release their browser (version 10) that has recently be put into BETA, which makes sense because it uses their new feature, turbo, along with cloud computing, and according to them, will reinvent the web and give Opera users more 'freedom'.
“Opera can add more features into HTML5 and do the things like Chrome does”
Like wha? To an extent they will do this — not up to the point where they're making up their own attributes, though.
What new features should opera 'add' into the HTML5 functionality? The only thing I could think of is codec support for <video> and <audio> tags and increased coherence to web standards… What were you thinking?
I will guess that Opera presents a Browser driven OS. Opera have agreements with nvidia http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2008/09/09/, and Phoenix http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2008/11/05/ . A combination of these two, and you have a browser driven OS
