Ask DLS: what do you think about Opera Unite 24 hours later?

All I can say is: we'll see. It's still a beta, so give it some time.
A reinvention of the web? No. A nifty feature, yes.
I think I'll use it every now and then for sharing stuff, or accessing files remotely in an easy way.

Basically; you're a bit fast on the draw. Opera is a very good browser, and they like innovation; give them some room to breath.

I really liked the new Unite features, until now. I gotta read the EULA's more often, though to be fair, the mandatory login to use it threw me off right away.

Also, Lee, do yourself a favour, and ignore cooltaj. I thought I've seen it all with fanboyism; consoles, brand-ers, transformers, star wars, star trek, rappers, etc. I have NEVER expected fanboys to argue over effin browsers! Probably because, *gasp*, you can install all three of the main ones! And others!

And cooltaj, the fact alone that firefox is open source and opera is not (correct me if I am wrong, it's been a while) is comfort enough for me, since anyone can examine the code for privacy and security holes. There is a reason why firefox has a following: they are up-front about it, and they do quality work.

Also, lets at least acknowledge a simple fact. 99.9 percent of the users will share copyrighted material over Unite features. That's the point of these things! Again, not to pirate, not to steal, but to let their friends hear the music they are passionate about, to share their joy. But the bloody RIAA doesn't have a clue! They don't understand that if I were to hear a song in this way and like it, I would go buy the album! I would!! I am sick and tired of them treating every customer as a potential pirate! If anything, it's their blatant disregard for fellow man that made me buy only used cds, dvds, blu-rays, and vinyl (yes I buy vinyl, got my turn table three months ago). I would rather my money go to the shop-keep, than the record labels.

Reading over the last post... Cooltaj.. you are so misinformed I am actually imagining all sorts of theories about you being a brilliant marketer for some competitor. Appearing to defend opera but spewing nonesense to such a degree that it transcends into the realm of existentialism. Can *any* service be trusted? Can the internet, itself, be trusted? Is the internet a metaphor for the human condition? Will we even know the answers?

Yes, gmail actually has encryption, specifically in the sense of "https". Go to the login url and look at the url. It literally says: https://www.google.com/accounts/Servi... Note the "s" at the end of the "http". And please, before you reply saying that you're "all that" and i'm not, look up what https actually does, will ya?

Don't hate... educate!

Wow Cooltaj really needs to sit down and have a cookie with milk... Opera Unite isn't that groundbreaking or revolutionary. And there are easier ways to host your own little media server like using HFS (HTTP File Server) which is one small executable. All you need to do is forward a port (which is easy if you go to portforward.com) and you can drag 'n' drop any needed files into the pane and TADA! They're online.

i have used almost all the gui browsers from galeon to ie8, but none of them have the feeling of firefox when browsing the web.

this opera looks cool, but nothing can stop me from using firefox because it is THE one and ONLY true web browser so far.

Responding to Unite misconceptions

There...read that. That should clear up your misconceptions (if indeed they are just genuine misconceptions).

One definite point why Opera sucks -> No smart-card support - so, it's a useless browser for people doing e-banking, voting, paying taxes etc.

This is a new plataform: server/server.
Where all computers is clients and servers in the same time.
