The Chinese company Kunqis failed to aquire Opera because it didn't get enough shareholder approval. Therefore this is the plan B, where Opera sells some assets, including the browser, to Kunqis.

And even plan B is not finalized and approved by regulators etc. Meaning it could as easily drop dead as plan A.

Frankly the engadget headline here is as hyperbolic, if not more so, than anything The Register gets shit on for.

I wonder if this means that they own the Presto Layout engine too.
