Norway’s Opera software has been working to push the Web browser envelope for years, and while they haven’t captures massive market share among desktop browsers they have made significant inroads in mobile browsers and other arenas—who do you think made the Web browser in the Nintendo Wii? Now, Opera Software is looking to “reinvent the Web” via Opera Unite, a new collection of free services that lets users share files, music, pictures, and more—plus run their own chat and Web servers—all without requiring data storage from upstream servers. Communication all happens between individual users’ personal computers, with no middle man.
