It's already been DMCA'd by Opera. From reading the DMCA notice, it looks like it was a real leak. [0]

There is already a patch for VP9 in there :o

"Patch to support VP9: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/528850/14846609 First, you need to update the firmware to 1.3.0 libvpx"

This is freaking amazing. Opera was the fastest most optimized browser I ever used. Started with 6, finally broke down and switched to Vivaldi after 1/4 of the web stopped working on 12.16 due to ECDHE :(

It's a shame they aren't releasing it. Same for carakan - they had a marvelous JIT at the time, which would surely make a great study.

Now the more interesting question is, How was it leaked, were Opera Hacked?

I really wish Presto could be open sourced, it is small and nimble, and should fit well for those using Web Technologies as Desktop Apps. And if it Presto refocus on that, they can finally throw away all the IE quirks mode.

Darn, got my hopes up that it might be a legitimate release and I might be able to use Opera again one day.

You can still find it, I just successfully built it for Linux this morning. People already have it running on Raspberry Pis, a platform Opera never supported.
