Take a browser with a growing base and a reputation for quality and speed, and rewrite it? Now, that's ambitious.
Opera, the self-described "fastest browser on earth," has decided to jettison its legacy code in favor of something a little faster.
The Oslo, Norway-based company is on the verge of releasing a trial, or beta, version of Opera 7, which will resemble its predecessor only in superficial ways. The rendering engine--the heart of the browser which interprets code pulled down from Web servers--has been rewritten from the ground up over the past 18 months.
