Inspired by the growing number of requests of StumbleUpon Social Network, Melo Bichuetti ‎and DrLaunch™ started a research to develop a tool that soon would receive both ‎endorsement from Opera Software ASA and StumbleUpon, helping their customers enjoy ‎the best of both worlds.‎

The first attempt was a working-in-progress menu, which Melo Bichuetti created under the ‎Creative Commons GPL license and released only for a short time and testing purposes. Immediately after the great feedback from equally users and developers, a team from My ‎Opera Community opened a collaborative project named My Opera StumbleUpon Team.‎

Following Opera tradition in safety and standard measures, the team assigned a project that ‎would use a native technology created by Opera Software ASA, one widget, which later our ‎product engineer, Simon Houston, named as My Opera StumbleUpon Widget.‎

Working on an Opera widget demanded time and experience, and thanks to our developers, ‎you will experience the most secure way to stumble ever.‎

The team had the opportunity to collaborate in an engine, which ownership and proprietary ‎license belongs to Opera Software ASA that not only is safer, faster, improved, and reliable ‎than StumbleUpon original engine, but also will bring the best StumbleUpon experience ever ‎for you Opera Web Browser user.‎

My Opera StumbleUpon Widget is the result of the countless hours of work by My ‎Opera StumbleUpon Team's developers:
