video interview with Opera CEO

When you think of innovations in web browsing clients such as tabs, the immediate reaction is to think of Mozilla’s Firefox or the recently launched Internet Explorer 7 by Microsoft. You might be surprised, however, to learn that Opera has been implemented tabbed browsing for years. Opera’s CEO, Jon von Tetchner, spoke with WebProNews at PubCon about the company’s plans to increase market share and consumer knowledge of it’s web browsing software.

Jon spoke about the company’s relationship with Google, and its commitment to develop a browser that seamlessly executes all of Google’s services such as Gmail, Docs & Spreadsheets, and Google Reader. He also touched on some of the browser’s feature that set it apart from Firefox and Internet Explorer, and is encouraging developers to reach out to Opera in efforts to develop web content that offers cross-platform functionality rather that limiting content to specific browsers.
