Håkon Wium Lie, one of the inventors of CSS, is the CTO of Opera Software. In 1998, Opera 3.5 was launched, adding support for Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and the ability to upload files.
It was released for multiple operating systems on December 31, 1997. It was the first version of Opera with JavaScript support. Then Project Magic became a news source for updates to alternative operating systems up to version 4. On November 30, 1997, they closed the vote for which operating system they should develop. On Octothey launched “Project Magic”, an effort to determine who would volunteer to purchase a copy of the browser on their native operating system and then distribute the funds for development (or adaptation) in an appropriate manner for those operating systems. The first public version of Opera was released as shareware in 1996.ĭue to the high demand, Opera Software showed interest in programming its browser for alternative operating systems such as the Apple Macintosh, QNX and BeOS. The Opera browser was, until version 2.0, called MultiTorg Opera and was not available to the public – although online documents show it at the Third International Version 2 Since then, Opera has undergone extensive changes and improvements, such as the relatively recent addition of protection against phishing.
In 1995, the project split up to a private company called Opera Software ASA, with the first publicly available version released in 1996. The history of the Opera browser begins in 1994 as a research project at Telenor, the largest Norwegian telecommunications company.
