Opera Browser for Linux Port to be Reassigned

Helmar Rudolph reports for Opera Software:

“The MacOS and the Linux programmers have been working together,
and they both failed. As with the MacOS project, the Linux project
is also being shifted…”

The Windows version of the Opera Internet browser recently won
CNET’s Best Product of 1998 award for Best
Internet Software.

Porting of Opera to Linux is under the direction of Opera
Software’s Project Magic and has not been pre-funded. The
developers have been contracted to develop the software on the
speculation they may make money from it in the future.
