Adobe Includes Opera
Browser

I was minding my own business one
day, doing my work, when all of the sudden the
Opera web browser appears and wants
to download a
bitTorent file. I was a bit miffed
at both events occurring simultaneously - one, I
didn't even know I had Opera on my Mac since I
never downloaded it, and two, I didn't know where
that file was even coming from! I really didn't
know what to think of it, so I did a little
searching for Opera to see where it was which came
up empty in my search except for a few preference
files, so I sort of let it go for the moment. Then
it happened again, Opera springs up out of nowhere
and starts downloading some torrent! WTF! This
time, I click on the dock icon and Show in Finder.

Ahhh - It's part of
Bridge, the media management
application thats part of their CS products. Much
of Bridge connects to the internet for photo
searching, photographer directory and
administering
Version Cue, Adobe's version
control software. I wonder why they chose to use
Opera - possibly because it runs on Mac/PC's -
oddly I've been seeing Opera turn up in alternate
places besides a default browser, I finally got to
try the Wii which uses a highly modified version
of Opera.
