“Why would Development tools have a picture of the Earth as the publicity?”

Why would Development tools have a picture of the Earth as the publicity? And in some of the articles it mentions the dragonfly rec. plane. Would suggest a google earth style app, but why that would play a big role in peoples lives I don’t know.

“you can’t test Opera rendering bugs in Firefox rendering engine…”

Exactly. That is why the tools could be provided with an online workspace, i.e. a person could get used to developing with them across different rendering engines. Bugs would be able to be tested through Dragonfly in each browser. This would benefit Opera because it’s name would be on the product, and it would get a boost in recognition.

you can’t test Opera rendering bugs in Firefox rendering engine.

in the same way you can’t use opera dragonfly (if it is dev tool) to fix other’ browsers bugs

each rendering engine requires its own set of tools

I’m placing my (current) bet on online developer tools. Opera already has some available on its developer site, so I’m guessing they could work anywhere if made correctly. The plus side of this developer suite is that there would be no installation, and every browser could be tested and developed in easily. There would be no reason to not test sites in Opera, or another browser. Of course there would still be the time to fix bugs, but that’s another story…

Looks like it is not tool like firebug… Looks like it is separated tool => ?? may be public bug-tracking system?

And this “news” is so news worthy that it needs to be in my feed box? Please, if there’s something to say, say it but things like this are just a waste of bandwidth (or an attempt at marketing by annoyance)
