What does Opera think about Chrome?
The launch of a new player on the browser market in the form of Google Chrome caused a considerable stir in the world. Someone hastened to call it a new era of browser development, someone began to predict a radical redistribution of the browser market and the beginning of a new browser war. However, it is possible to understand such authors: not every day one of the world giants of the software market publishes a new software product designed for the already established market niche.
However, unnecessary emotions come to nothing - the new browser is still far from being a real competitor for the most popular "old-timers". At the moment, this is just a kind of concept browser, in which several new ideas are implemented, but so far there are not many small, but no less important for the user functions.
It should be noted that the creators of Google Chrome are not limited to the implementation of only their own ideas, and added to the browser and some good solutions already used in other browsers. Moreover, it is pleasant to realize that some of the most notable of them were borrowed from Opera. This applies to the binding of the address bar directly to the page, and a certain similarity of the Quick Start panel, and many others.
It is therefore not surprising that almost half of the discussions on the network concerned the comparison of Chrome and Opera, while the head of Opera Software, Jon Von Tachner, was simply overwhelmed with questions about his attitude to the new browser. Ion got on the phone: one telephone interview was followed by another almost without interruption all day. Considering that the actual range of questions is the same for almost all journalists, the creator of Opera decided to publish the public official point of view of Opera Software in general and its in particular on the pages of My Opera. Now the translation of this article into Russian is ready, so everyone who is interested in Opera’s opinion about Chrome, I invite you to read it on our website.
