As everyone knows, Opera is known for its web browser innovation, having introduced things like tab browsing, mouse gestures, Speed Dialup, integrated feed reader, and so on. Most of these have now been copied by other browsers like Firefox, Internet Explorer and Chrome.

This video is about maths, but performed in an entertaining, magical way.
It has this interesting revenue sharing scheme, where if you allow them to place advertisements on your video, fifty percent of the revenue goes to you. You can also tag certain parts of your video, and users can also leave comments on your video!
