Opera introduces fit-to-window rechnology

Globe and Mail Update

OSLO, Nov. 24 — Opera Software has announced that it has solved the problem of rendering Web pages effectively regardless of screen size. Opera's new Extensible Rendering Architecture means no more horizontal scrolling and improved ability to print entire Web pages. In combination with Opera's Zoom function, ERA also presents a compelling accessibility feature with which users can magnify Web pages dramatically and still view them without having to scroll sideways.

Opera's rendering technologies have previously included small- and medium-screen rendering to render Web pages on mobile devices, as well as TV-rendering for effectively displaying Web pages on regular television sets. ERA is the architecture that incorporates all of Opera's rendering technologies in one dynamic framework, and thus concludes Opera's effort to solve the rendering problem regardless of screen size.
