Opera 10.10 beta puts Unite front and center
As we've reported before, Unite is a "web server within a web browser" that allows you to download and run various web applications. What does this mean for the average user? You can access your files from anywhere, and easily share them with friends.

Unite is still in the early stages, but no other browser has even attempted to do what Opera is doing in this space.
