- hungryfoolish 11y agoIt hasn't been purchased yet; the buyout deal is yet to go through AFAICT.
- neurobuddha 11y agoSo I guess this an attempt to add value to push the deal through.
- wagglycocks 11y agoOpera has a long history of adding innovative browser features. There's no reason to think that this has some kind of ulterior motive related to a rumored sale.
- mclovinit 11y agoI am thinking that announcing this feature may be a tactic to win back consumer trust or in the least attract new customers who are not familiar with the potential buyout.
