visiting your website is like driving a car with a toaster as an engine.

It just doesn't go fast enough :/

crappy internet.

Besides, as I see it the big "dread" of this is that websites are expected to be available 24/7. In this case that means that you effectively have to run Opera 24/7, which you simply don't.
So how could Opera solve this?
How about putting a caching proxy in front of it instead of just displaying that "could not connect" error?

You can thank me later.
No thanks.
It's (a bit) harder to set up, so I wouldn't expect them to do it.
Secondly, it is set up (by default) in "development mode" so it isn't very secure either.
Also, it requires manual port-forwarding which I wouldn't expect him to be able to do.

I used this until I found out you couldn't go to it if opera wasn't open.

Which probably is why they made a "background" mode to Opera.

Too bad when your computer is offline no one can access your stuff.
