[...] Unite first showed up last June as an alpha that was accompanied by some of the most excessive hype ever attached to a product that didn’t hail from Cupertino–the company said it “would forever change the fundamental fabric of the Web.” I understand that changing the fundamental fabric of anything takes more than a few months, but Unite got off to a rocky start, suffering issues related to both reliability and privacy.

Tonido is a payware

Very funny. 40 millions people use Opera, including me. Without Opera Browser, there’s only a room for obsolete browsers : sessions, zoom, spatial navigation, speed dial and so many, so many things were created by Opera. It’s simple, using Opera is like keeping an eye on the future. You know that every new functionality of Opera will end up in other browsers, sooner or later.

Try Tonido instead of Opera Unite. It has been running smoothly for three months now without a single incident.

Couldn’t agree more.
Also have IE, Chrome, and have tried Safari, however….guess where I always end up again and again….and again. I just can’t help it…Opera is a great browser.

please don’t mention IE in the same sentence as opera. When I started using Opera many years ago it was like moving light years ahead. Opera still leads the charge today in my humble opinion.

It’s too bad that only hardcore nerds are able to set up that Apache stuff. And that’s just for the server itself. Not even going to get into what it would take to set up something you can actually use.

Unite does it in a few clicks.

Actually, you can’t even compare Apache and Unite. They are totally different approaches. Apache is good for normal sites. Unite lets your computer accept requests instead of just being a passive on-looker.

Uh, Unite was released as an OPERA LABS version. You know what they do in labs? EXPERIMENTS.

Closed alpha? Nonsense. There’s no need to keep it closed because that would reduce the amount of testing and feedback.

Especially that it’s easy to have Apache and your own domain name on your domain name on your computer to host your web site yourself: http://www.fpws.org

It may not work at all at the end, and Opera could give up on Unite, but Opera is so much more than Unite, I started using Opera for all the other cool features and will still using it as my main browser, only if I cant see a particular website then Ill try safari, then firesucks, then chrome and at the end IE.

I dont create room for it, I have to make room for all the others, since my family uses firesucks and IE.
