Their mission is simple..."to develop a superior Internet browser for our users through state-of-the-art technology, innovation, leadership and partnerships."
What they’ve done is tackle almost every front where the internet can be accessed. Their browser supports Linux, Mac, or Widow’s based computers. They have also extended their range to the mobile market where cell-phones can run Opera mobile or Opera Mini. They even have a browser for the Nintendo Wii and DSi.
Opera offers many features for its browsers which include tabbed browsing, pop-up blockers, fraud protection, a download manager, web feed aggregator and search bar. It is not merely a web browser though; Opera has their own social network as well as an internet portal. Their social network focuses on blogging and photo sharing within the community. Their internet portal is still in beta, but it allows you to setup and customize your own home page.
One of the latest and neatest developments that is still in development is Opera Unite. By utilizing a plug-in called “Services,” you are able to add web server capabilities to the browser. This allows you to host a site, stream media, and even allow file sharing. File sharing, thats a whole other topic.
Here is a quick blurb about Opera's Unite...
