That’s because Opera 11 extensions will use the same collection of Web page technologies–HTML for page contents, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for formatting, JavaScript for processing–as extensions in Google’s Chrome, Apple’s Safari 5, and Mozilla Firefox’s upcoming Jetpack. The approach generally makes it easier for at least lightweight extensions, and browser technologies handle the interface.
A standard for extensions holds the promise of easier development for programmers, as they wouldn’t have to rewrite their extensions for each browser. However, there are obstacles, including the facts that the Web technology extension approach is relatively new, and different browsers expose different interfaces to the extensions.
