It has been reported on several websites that a source close to the Opera Wii project has given a little insight into what Wii owners should expect with the up and coming release of the Opera browser trial that is expected to hit the Wii Shop this Friday.
First it is worth noting that this will not be the final release of the browser, and some are dubbing it as a beta. The Wii was ment to come with this browser however Nintendo had issues over how stable it was and kept rejecting the builds that Opera Software created. It is expected to have the full build ready for March.
Javascript is not expected to work fully, this is due to Nintendos fears that the Wii software can be exploited if javascript is allowed without being fully patched, Opera Software is expected to have this problem sorted by the March build, however no promises from either Opera or Nintendo on this matter. Ajax, on the otherhand is expected to work mostly, however some mashed up versions of Ajax code may face issues due to the javascript being disabled.
Flash is also expected to be a problem due to Nintendo opting to use a edited version that limits what the flash can do, once again due to fears that the Wii software may be hacked so in turn some games, and flash sites that use the Flash plugin may not work correctly. It is unknown if Opera intends to fix this problem.
