The Opera browser has come a long way since its creation years ago. These are some of its features par version 11.

  • Actually the fastest browser
  • Used tabs first and-
  • -since has created "tab stacking"
  • mouse gestures to navigate easily
  • packages:
    • Opera Link, which synchronizes pretty much anything you want
    • Opera Turbo, which uses a proxy to compress web pages
    • Opera Unite, by which you can host your own very basic php server and has downloads for setting up features such as file sharing easily
  • built in:
  • extensions
  • widgets

As said in other nodes, one of its earliest features is the ability to have tabs as separate tab windows inside the parent, which is quite useful. It also has its own social network, MyOpera. There are several other less obvious features to the browser, such as very simple search engine customization, very easy tab restoration, and automagical form fill out (such as logging into things).
Opera no longer uses ads in the browser.
