operawatch.com— With more efficient streaming by sending data only when new information is available instead of constant polling, Opera takes the lead with AJAX.

"But seriously. Opera should open-source the Presto! engine. Or at least sell licenses to use it."I think they do sell licenses to it, but not at a very large scale though. Both Adobe Creative Suit 2 and Mac versions of Macromedia Dreamweaver MX uses it.I agree with you though, Presto going open source would most likely be good for Opera. Presto is indeed better than other rendering engines on most areas.
@Hindu Wardrobe: No, I don't think that becoming open source would help Opera much. Not everyone is a friend of Google ;)Furthermore I think those don't using closed source just because it's closed source are just stupid. You may bury me, but for me it's a difference between closed source I would never use, too (like AOL or IE) and closed source I use because I think that this software does what I want it to do and suits me best.You know, as I said not everyone's a friend of Google and some people do really earn money from developing software. I think it's stupid to not support them just because they want to earn money in the future, too.
@Giever: the rocker gestures are actually an Opera innovation, don't recall if it was Opera 4 or 5 who had them first... anyway, there are built in in Opera.Opera 9 offers a 'Block content' feature that lets you do quite a lot of the things Adblock offers. No regexps and online sharing, but it does offer a simple graphical method for adding blocks, and the ability to edit these manually with wildcards.
nice, i hope other browsers adopt this, it'll match the adobe/macromedia flex and communication server functionality of persistent connections and event handling

Soo..basically this is a TCP implementation on top of HTTP. Something is seriously wrong here.

Those sites are blocking Opera. Ajax works fine if you just allow it to use it.
