 Browser History: Opera
By the end of 1995 Opera Software was created after Telenor had allowed the pair to continue development of the browser on their own.
Opera was written from scratch - it is not based on the NCSA Mosaic code or interface methodology (as Internet Explorer or Netscape are.) This gives it some unique browsing features such as page zoom, a multi-document interface browsing environment and mouse gestures.
Opera's approach thus far has been to aim for as much standards compliance as possible while also embracing many non-standard authoring features.

Opera 4.0 is available with Sun's Java 1.3 runtime bundled (10MB) or on its own, without Java support (1.7MB), and most Netscape-compatible plug-ins will work with Opera.
