Personalize
Customize your browser
You can add, remove or reposition
buttons and toolbars or change the entire layout of the browser. It is easy to do … or undo.
Access bookmarks
instantly
The convenient bookmarks bar keeps commonly visited sites and
bookmark folders in front of you at all times, allowing instant access. You can
enable this toolbar by selecting Opera menu -> Toolbars -> Bookmarks Bar.
Choose your look and
layout
Opera’s vibrant user community
has created many beautiful
skins and setups for you to try,
so you can have a customized look for your browser.
Create your own
shortcuts
Opera offers many ways to perform browser actions, and you can
also customize your own keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures and more.
Tabs
Look inside tabs
When you hover the mouse pointer over a tab, a preview shows you
the content of that page. When you stack tabs, hovering over a stack also shows
a preview of the tabs within, and you may select the tab you want to use.
Recover tabs you
closed
You can open tabs that you accidentally closed or website
pop-ups that Opera blocked by clicking the closed tabs icon to the right of
your tabs.
Protect a tab from
closing
By right-clicking a tab, you can pin it to prevent it from being
closed by accident. Pinned tabs take up minimal space and are automatically
moved to the left of other tabs to make them easy to find.
Get a better view of
tabs
Visual tabs show a small thumbnail for each website, in addition
to the page title and icon. You can drag the tab bar to the desired height to
adjust the thumbnail size accordingly.
Save sets of tabs
You can save your open tabs as a “session” and load it later to
open these same pages. You can have multiple sessions and load each one based
on what you are doing at a certain time.
Productivity
Stay in control of
downloads
Download files more quickly. As soon as you click a file to save
it, the Opera browser starts downloading it, so there is no wasted time. From
the Downloads tab, you can keep track of the progress of downloads and even
pause and resume them as needed.
Follow your favorite
feeds
Subscribing to newsfeeds with Opera Mail is simple. Just click
the RSS link in the address field, click “Subscribe”, and the feed will display
under “Newsfeeds” at the bottom of your Mail panel. Now, you can get your RSS
feeds right in the browser without using a separate program.
Keep your spelling in
check
The spell checker in Opera shows a red line under misspelled
words anywhere you can enter text on a webpage. Corrections can be chosen by
right-clicking the misspelled word.
Eliminate distractions
You can block images, pop-ups and plug-ins that you do not want
to see. Right-click a page, choose “Block Content” and click any annoying
elements to disable them selectively. In the Opera browser, smart pop-up
blocking is turned on by default.
Manage bookmarks
efficiently
Give your bookmarks easy-to-remember names or group them into
folders to help manage your bookmarks as your collection grows.
Load plug-ins only
when needed
You can choose to have plug-ins such as Adobe Flash load content
only when clicked. This is helpful to speed up browsing on computers that have
difficulty handling lots of plug-in content.
Use convenient apps
Opera Widgets are apps that provide handy functionality such as
showing the weather, quickly looking up information or providing entertainment
and games. There are many Opera Widgets available, and they run directly on the
desktop, so they keep running even if you close your browser.
Download using
BitTorrent
Support for BitTorrent is built in to Opera, so you can download
torrents without the need for a separate application. You can even monitor the
progress of large torrent downloads with Opera’s Downloads panel.
Search
Search from the
address field
Save time by typing your search query directly into the address
field. You can also customize this feature by choosing the search engine you
prefer.
Get suggestions as you
search
Search suggestions predict queries as you type, making searching
quicker and easier. Google search predictions are now built into the Opera
browser, along with Wikipedia, Bing and Yandex suggestions. These are displayed
when using the search field or when using search keywords in the address field.
For example, to see Google’s search predictions, type “g search words” in the
address field.
Use any search engine
instantly
It is easy to use your favorite search engine whenever you
want—from the search field, the address field or even the context menu. You can
also add any search engine. Simply right-click in the search field of a search
engine’s website and select “Create Search”.
Find what you need in
webpages
“Find in page” is brilliant in Opera. All matching results are
highlighted, so they are clearly visible. You can fine-tune your search to
match all the text, just the whole word or only the links or the page. This
feature can be accessed from keyboard shortcuts such as [.] (period) for text
and [,] (comma) for links.
Smart options for
wrong addresses
We’ve all mistyped a web address from time to time. Now, the
Opera browser gives you smart options from an error page that lets you search
with your entry and gives you suggestions you can click to find the page you
want.
Latest Technologies
The fastest JavaScript
engine
The Carakan JavaScript engine has been further enhanced to run
more quickly than ever! This makes Opera the fastest browser on Earth in many
performance tests. Even complex webpages load and run with lightning speed.
Support for the the
latest HTML5
With our latest Opera Presto rendering engine and its leading
support for HTML5, websites using the latest web standards work perfectly. The
Opera browser supports technologies that enable sophisticated web apps and
multiplayer games, and the latest CSS3 such as linear gradients and multiple
columns display beautifully.
Smooth and fast
graphics
Everything in the Opera browser is drawn on your screen using
Opera’s high-performance Vega graphics library. This enables super fast and
smooth graphics, in everything from tab switching to animation on webpages.
Support for
geolocation
You can share your location with geolocation-supported websites
such as Google Maps. Rest assured that your privacy is a top priority—you will
always be prompted before sharing your location.
Security and Privacy
Be safe on the Web
The Opera browser features up-to-the-minute information from
leading security agencies on exploits, viruses and phishing scams. When you
visit sites on the Web, Opera checks this data in real time and warns you when
a site is identified as dangerous. In addition, Opera supports Extended
Validation certificates (EV) to provide added assurance and trust for secure
websites.
Keep your browsing
private
Using a private tab or window ensures that evidence of your
browsing history is removed as soon as the tab or window is closed. Now, it is
safer to do your banking from a public computer or easier to plan that surprise
vacation.
See your security on
websites
An enhanced address field makes it easy to stay safe on the Web.
The complexity of long addresses is hidden to make it clear which site you are
visiting. A colored badge also indicates the quality of encryption that is
used; clicking it gives you detailed information about the site.
Control website
cookies
Opera allows you to choose which cookies you accept or reject.
For example, you can allow for different set-ups for different servers.
Stay up to date
Opera makes it easy to have the latest version of not just the
browser, but any extensions and Opera Unite applications you are using. You can
have completely automatic updates or be notified when an update is ready for
you to install. As always, with Opera, it is your choice.
