I caught up with Arnstein Teigene, who is product manager for desktop browser add-ons at Opera, to ask him about the forthcoming feature and what it means for the company and the Web as a whole.

One of the things I asked was why it took Opera so damn long to gain said add-ons feature, which I believe has been a fundamental part of modern Web browsers for years now.

As you can tell from the interview, the company’s also considering shipping extension support in its mobile browser products as it’s apparently and oft-requested feature, but it doesn’t sound like that’s coming anytime soon.

I also got a brief demo of Opera 11 alpha in action, showing functional third-party extensions from reddit, StumbleUpon and Wikipedia.
