In what appears to be a strategic move by Opera, one that will allow it to focus its resources on marketing its technology and ad platforms, the company has announced that it plans to make a gradual transition this year away from its own browser engine to one based on WebKit, used by the open-source Chromium browser, which provides the foundation for Google’s Chrome. So it’ll be interesting to watch how they react to the news that Opera is planning to dump its own technology and basically become a clone of Google Chrome.
Opera doesn’t even come close to the likes of Google Chrome, IE and Mozilla in the popularity stakes, but nevertheless the plucky software company from Norway has built up a dedicated following of some 300 million users that swear by its alternative web browser.
