Operas CEO On Innovation And Privacy, And A First Look At Its New WebKit-Based Browser For Android [TCTV]

opera mobile android webkitWeb browser company Opera Software, now 300 million users strong, caught the world off guard the other week when it announced that it would be ditching its own Presto framework and moving instead to Google's WebKit to power its mobile and desktop browsers. In an interview with TechCrunch today, Opera's CEO Lars Boilesen said that the decision has freed up the company to innovate in a way that it hadn't for years. "By moving, it meant that we no longer had to have to have 200 engineers working on the core-level product," he said in an interview with TechCrunch. "That meant they could work on new stuff. We could go on the offensive."
