The My Opera Community was launched in August 2001[2] as a simple support site for the browser, and the website had its first upgrade a month later on September 11.
During this upgrade, users were given access to photo albums, improved blogs (formerly journals), the ability to create custom groups, and 300MB[2] of free storage space.
These include: Vivaldi.net is an alternative community site opened on 18 December 2013 by Jon von Tetzchner, founder and former CEO of Opera Software.
Jon von Tetzchner posted a personal welcome message where he explained his plan to provide a new community for My Opera's members.
Vivaldi.net is not related to Opera Software; it eventually become the virtual community of the eponymous Vivaldi web browser.
