Sorry. It should work in the latest Opera. The heatmap on the globe are actual data stored in PNG-files. If you want to read more about how we did it, you can read more about the project on http://bengler.no/global_weirding

I'm sorry to see that the product communication of Opera ASA has confused you as well. Opera 15+ is not "the latest" Opera, but merely a clone of chrome that shares quite earnestly and literally zero code with Opera 12 (which is the latest of its respective line); and will likely never be a viable upgrade vector due to also sharing almost none of the features of Opera 12.

Also, thanks for the further reading link. :)

It's quite interesting already. And i note in the gif down the middle of the page that on mobile only one event is ever on screen, while in chrome i often had 5+ on screen, with very little space inbetween them. If you spaced it out more on desktop, it would become much more grokkable.

Edit: There's also the fact that i have a hard time distinguishing between land and see, between the globe rotating wildly and the colors washing across it.
