Opera’s Presto engine was a means to an end; a means for a small, European browser company to challenge the dominance of companies who, at that time, hoped to “win” the web through embracing, extending and extinguishing web standards.

Having sold shares steadily von Tetzchner has now less than 10 per cent limit, which meant that he theoretically could block the acquisition. According to Business Today, he has 5.18 percent of the shares in the company.
There have been several takeover rumors in the past. von Tetzchner was one of the obstacles. Now the way is paved for a takeover.
