Facebook rumoured to buy Opera and launch browser

It seems like we have more browser wars to look forward to. While Yahoo!'s added their own browser, Axis, to the mix, Facebook has been rumoured to be potentially buying Opera Software, the company behind the Opera web and mobile browsers. According to Pocket-Lint, a trusted source says that Facebook wants to buy the company behind the browser that boasts of 20 million users worldwide. As expected, the browser would be designed to give users more access to Facebook with default browser plugins. It also might work the other way around where Facebook can see users' browsing history in more detail and of course, this information is highly valuable to advertisers. Whether the acquisition will even be approved is yet to be seen.Click here for full story
