A google search turned up this link with three reasonable predictions:<p><a href="http://techxav.com/2009/06/11/opera-will-re-invent-the-web-3-predictions-about-what-will-they-do/" rel="nofollow">http://techxav.com/2009/06/11/opera-will-re-invent-the-web-3...</a>

In the meta description it says "[..] Discover how fast and fun the Web can be." so I assume it has to do with this feature in the newest version of Opera that, if I remember correctly, speeds-up surfing by serving you a faster version of a site than that site can serve it to you. This includes heavily compressing images on that page. Some kind of proxy service? Edit: Not sure about that "and fun" part though :P

Does the font on the site look squished for you too?<p>I tried with both webkit-gtk and firefox...

Hopefully it'll be their stopping going after Internet Explorer via the EU courts, and actually come up with a product people would want to use/buy.
