Opera Unite ... Impression after a few days. do eyepiece crash in full screen mode currently use The new version of Opera "
Unite" has made an impression on me, as I described in my previous blog post.
In recent days I've occasionally casually acquainted with the functions. I also read the responses to the announcement of Opera while a reference to the Firefox plugin " Plain Old Webserver " noticed that I did not know before. - I the Firefox add- have not tested extensively. The plug is about the wonderful plugin interface in Firefox installs quickly and easily. - A wiki just helps at the facility. - However: It does for me in a better league "Geek" , even if it is really easy to set up - and not in the league "family friendly " .
League "geek" - and League "family friendly". Why? - It starts with the first impression. When Firefox plugin: "Drag this link to your desktop" - and a "quick start to read a wiki page. Yes. It's fast, but with Opera Unite eliminates this completely. - Likewise, the really simple installation of the integrated plug-in interface in Firefox. ... In Opera: It's built .
Please click on "start" and a chat in progress. (Note:.! It's available for chats Firefox plugins ... - These require a basic knowledge of IRC for example - no thing ... For Geeks ) If you run "file sharing", pops up the window, causing the folder is chosen. - The right is the URL. Second, the option to just take the folder with password-free. - A secure password for this is already suggested (changeable).
The proxy and the freedom In the initial reactions from skeptics in regards Opera Unite, which I found on Twitter and my blog posts, was often talk of that the freedom that Opera promises, not quite as large as they say. As far as I understand it, it refers to the full-bodied advertising the "web revolution" by the browser.
think I basically want to do home server just that: to give consumers options in the hand to be self-productive. Whether you take your mouth so full of must start with a single program a "revolution", it can be safely divided ...
was criticized at the Opera-model, however, the proxy server in Opera. - Access to your pages you can get through this cache. ... Here it is again a question of trust. - Opera has been no reason given that one should doubt the reputation. - But the content is made available in the default settings of Opera-computer in the network.
This has thorough advantages: The proxy allows in restrictive environments in the first operation of / the server. Another advantage: The simple URL. The URL can be reached with the Opera Unite is actually available now. - And it consists not of numbers and port numbers, but from a user selected computer name and the Benutzernamen@operaunite.com.
This is not a geek stuff ... that's what I mean by "family-friendly .
The simplicity of the difference would Make ... speaks So far for me is still very much to Unite the Opera " non-geek" - the average user - to recommend ... If! - And that's the reason I write this comparison, if the problem of accessibility is achieved. - In theory, everything is as described above, at least organized well thought out. - But a disturbing number of points. The software is still in his respect of the first beta-test "in the wild. The technique is still not as stable and usable call (!).
also seems to me the proxy occasionally slowing the rest. Slowing? - The pages are sometimes / often impossible to reach! - And then relieve the advantage of the private web server in the browser ... And if he is still yet chic. In the beta phase, therefore, is the verdict: NOT FAMLIENFREUNDLICH .
- And I'm very anxious to see if Opera can get the problems under control. For beta property "fully usable" course is not expected. But Opera has yet to prove that the service will be also real.
PS On the website of Opera was released shortly after the publication also provides guidance on how to bypass the proxy, or your own web address can use (eg via DynDNS). Schick! - But not as " famlienfreundlich " but comparable to the plugin in Firefox.
PPS The Firefox plug-in allows the way, unlike Opera Unite, and the use of Python and PHP! - Very smart, in my opinion! - Here is the Firefox plugin with a good geek way! - Opera is against this family-friendly by greater security. Opera is only on javascript. Some offer features that other browsers via Javascript to run globally, to Opera only on the server side in the plugins (writing files). - Again a sensible solution, I think.
