Opera Dragonfly… The big secret was finally revealed. As it was expected, Opera Dragonfly is developer tools.

Opera Dragonfly, No News for You
Some time ago David Storey wrote an article on his blog about “a mysterious project” called “Opera Dragonfly”.

Opera Dragonfly. The Next Big Thing?
David Storey from Opera team recently blogged about something called “Opera Dragonfly”. While no one knows what it is, Opera team keeps teasing everyone (like they always do). Here’s a quote from David Storey blog post:
So what exactly is Opera Dragonfly? I won’t say quite yet, but I do think that, in my opinion, it is the most important project we have on going at the moment, and probably since I’ve been at the company.
