well i don’t think it’s necessary cause basically bittorrent is a p2p transfer technology and is not related to web browsing, cept for that you have to download the torrent file off a website most the time,
implementing the bittorrent technology (specially the new trackerless one :| ) is a bitch and needs alot of effort to stick it inside the browser,
i don’t think that opera will have a good time fixing future issues concerning the bittorrent feature and releasing fixes constantly lol, that’ll be fun to watch
i guess someone would probably think of a bittorrent client extension but it’ll be a drag to maintain, take a look at the adblock extension and their release timeline for example.
well yadda yadda you get the point marks ;)
