- We are working on cutting-keeping performance-throne, says Opera Software.
The manufacturers of browsers are waiting in anticipation of the imminent browser option, which rolled out to Windows users in Europe in those days.
Users who have Microsoft Internet Explorer set as the default browser will bring up a separate options screen, where they are asked to take a stand and choose one of 12 different browsers.
In particular, is much at stake for the Norwegian Opera Software. According to most dashboards are the least of the five major browsers, which should appear on the main screen of your browser choice. Thus, they also have potentially most to gain from the scheme.
Microsoft has already begun deployment of the required Windows update that contains the browser option in some countries.
In the first instance as a "pilot" - to a few users in Belgium, France and the United Kingdom. It said communications director Tor Odland, Opera Software.
And in the hours and days before Microsoft turns on the crane for the full, it is working intensively to improve the Opera browser. Speed is very important.
It is unclear exactly what date the election is rolled out to all European users, but the site is working based on that "March is the great month."
- It is true that we are trying to bring out the best possible version of the site before the [browser choice]. This we expect will be an important factor, "said Odland.
He expects a lot of attention and testing of the various browsers in the market and their versions in the coming weeks.
- Will retain the throne
Testing of web browsers and their performance, including competitors' products also takes place internally in the Opera-lab.
- Many people choose Web browser based on speed. Performance is important and the site has been known to be the fastest browser for many years. It is important to keep the throne in this phase.
Just today, the site (as of this writing) managed to push out the four so-called release candidate releases (RC) of the Opera 10.50 on Windows. More may follow, and it is clear that the site fighting against the clock to ready the final version just in time to the selection screen.
No time for the final release may not come with the site.
- Software development is always a risk sport, which we use to say. This is an exciting game and we are betting everything on being finished.
