You shouldn't need to. But we are all on Linux at my organization, which
means I need to wait a little longer before I can get the newest versions

If it's not working now, it should in a few days, once I see what has
changed and make adjustments to the javascript.

it on the screen like that.

Can this rendering engine be found anywhere for non-Opera employees? Will
it be part of the regular Blink any time soon?
