Opera unite is a new technology platform that adds a compact Web server to its browser and lets users share files, photos and music without using third-party services. Its media player service, for example, effectively turns any Opera-equipped computer into a music file-sharing service that streams tunes to any other browser. Users can set the service as public, private or a password-protected hybrid. Only tracks that lack anti-piracy protection can be shared. With this release, Opera is trying to go back to the initial days of the internet, where everyone who was connected was alos sharing data. How successful they are remains to be seen, but early reports talking about the ease of use give hope to Opera.
