“Extensions will be based on the W3C Widget specifications and this is being considered for an Open Standard effort.”

The promise from Opera Software is that developers will be able to leverage an API (application programming interface) in order to build extensions for Opera 11.

But devs will only be able to start developing and publish projects after Opera 11 Alpha ships.

“With the first iteration of Opera Extensions we are focusing on open web standards and 'getting it right'. Our alpha release supports injectable JavaScript, callouts, certain UI items and a basic Tabs and Windows API,” Øverdahl added.

Still, with this week’s announcements from Opera Software, developers will not have too much to wait until they will be able to start extending the browser.

Looks like a "yes".
