Opera Proposes Switching Browser Scrolling For 'Pages': Barence writes "
Opera has proposed a new browsing system that swaps scrolling on websites for flippable pages. The Norwegian browser maker is looking to remove the side

user interface,' said

CTO."
Their main focus for this is browsing on tablets.
