Opera 31 speeds up

by Zhenis / August 4, 2015


The most important change we’re introducing in Opera 31 is its startup time. Opera for computers now starts up to 70% faster in comparison to previous versions. This is especially important and helpful for devices with slower, traditional hard drives.

Discover gets a makeover
We redesigned pages in Opera for computers so everything looks nice and modern. In Opera 31, Discover gets a better layout. Discover is a feature that serves you the most recent content from your region. You can also customize it by choosing topic category or country.

Link Removed

Tip: One of our favourite categories is Food. Follow it and you will never miss the best recipes for tasty pasta.

and more…
We are working on improved synchronization, with additional options, across your devices. This release synchronizes typed history between your desktop devices. Now you can get to your history faster.

Opera 32: Privacy is a universal right
by Zhenis / September 15, 2015


Your security online has always been our highest concern. We want to move it another step forward, because we believe that privacy online is a universal right.

Recently, the SurfEasy team joined the Opera family, adding its VPN solution to our product lineup.

What is a VPN? Well, imagine that basic internet communication is like sending a postcard. Almost everyone can read it, the post officer, post truck driver and even your neighbor. You trust they won’t use your private information, but you can never be sure.

Using a VPN is like putting that postcard into a strongbox, which is then loaded into an armored truck, which drives on a highway inside a separate, concrete tunnel.

On computers, SurfEasy VPN is available for Windows and Mac.

Link Removed

We’re also looking into more privacy opportunities within the browser now that SurfEasy has joined Opera.

Password synchronization
We’re introducing password synchronization in today’s release of Opera 32 for computers. So, now, you don’t need to remember all the passwords for websites you frequently visit. You can access them from another computer, as long as you remember your master password. For the time being, it will be available on desktop only, with a rollout on other platforms to come later this year.

Animated themes
Do you feel like you want to have more fun with your Opera browser? No worries, now you can pick an animated theme to add a pinch of variety.

Better downloads and quieter tabs in Opera 35 for computers

Today is our first, stable update of Opera for computers for 2016.

It’s a very strong start for many cool features we plan for this year. So, let’s have a quick dive into the features we brought to Opera for computers version 35.

Mute tabs
Sometimes, you close a tab just after you opened it because there is a loud ad or auto-playing video.

Now, we’ve made it easier for you to mute the sound from a website so you can continue viewing or reading the page without closing its tab.


From the tab’s context menu, we also added an option to mute all other tabs. This is especially helpful in some cases when you are, for example, listening to music on YouTube while browsing sites with auto-play sounds and videos that interfere with your music.

Improved downloads
We’ve made many improvements to the download popup in Opera for computers, and, for version 35, it’s high time we roll out a refreshed interface which gives you a better view of downloaded files.

Beyond the interface, we also included quick links for the most used file formats: documents, PDFs, images, music, videos, archives and others.

Link Removed

Many of you reported that, especially on slower networks, Opera for computers exits without warning that a file is downloading. Now, we will double check with you to ensure that your file has been downloaded. You will get a popup message to confirm if you want to close the browser while you are still downloading in the background.

Customize as you like
We love testing how you use the browser because that’s the most efficient way to get feedback from real people about Opera for computers.

We see that you love customizing your browser. And, Opera for computers has options for customization. Thanks to you who agreed to send us anonymous usage statistics. We were able to see the frequently-changed settings.

This is why we introduce a new, basic section in Opera’s settings.

Now, you can easily decide on options for start-up behavior, downloads, bookmarks bar or cookies. We have not only gathered big data, we also listened to live users’ feedback and added the possibility to change themes directly from settings.

Opera Stable 35.0.2066.68 update

Hi,

In today’s update we offer You a few UI and stability fixes. Those include especially:

• DNA-48919 Windows size is retained after autoupdate.

• DNA-46375 Mac issue with windows not opened, while previous one was minimised, is also fixed now.

The Chromium version has been updated to 48.0.2564.109.

Opera Stable 35.0.2066.82 update
(




In today’s release, we provide an important Chromium security update – more on the update in this Softpedia article.

Also, if you take a look at the changelog, you’ll see that it breaks the record of brevity. There’s only one entry there – we fixed a crash on dragging a pinned tab.

Unfortunately, the fix for DNA-47405 “Monitor won’t go sleep when Opera has animated theme” proved to be more complicated to backport than expected (yes, these things happen sometimes) and didn’t make it to the release. Truly sorry for that.

Quick Opera Stable 35.0.2066.92 update

How’s the weather out there? Here, as I write these words, it is yet another dark day with heavy sleet pouring down from the sky and equally dark slosh on the streets. Charming. Come on, winter, behave yourself, it’s March already!

Back to the business though. Today’s quick stability and performance update fixes the following issues:

• DNA-49372 – Opera stops responding/freezes on various sites on Windows 10
  The infamous issue on Windows 10 should now be gone. Please check whether your Twitter, Facebook and similar sites work for you.
  
  
  
• DNA-47405 – Monitor won’t go sleep when Opera has animated theme
  Your machine should now utilize the display sleep mode when the animated theme is in use.
  
  
  
• DNA-43687 – [Linux] Mosaic of tab bar artifacts instead of Web UIs when hardware accelerated
  We’ve finally made it. Linux users, please let us know if you still have any visual artifacts when using hardware acceleration.
  
  

Installation links:

• Opera Stable for Windows
• Opera Stable for Mac
• Opera Stable for Linux
