Is Facebook Going To Buy Opera?

Posted by timothy on from the browser-wars-the-sequel dept.

New submitter x0d writes with this excerpt from the L.A. Times: "The Facebook spending spree may be continuing as a new report says the social networking giant might be looking to buy Norwegian company Opera Software. Now fully under the microscope of Wall Street as well as Main Street investors, Facebook is trying to solve its mobile monetizing problems and has been gobbling up various companies in recent months to increase its presence in the world of smartphones."

    You got it back asswards friend, Opera MINI does the whole "go through Opera servers" thing whereas opera MOBILE only does so if you activate turbo.

    Actually you can't turn it off, because Opera Mini isn't a real browser, that is the whole point of Opera Mini. It is just a client which displays what the Opera server prerendered.
