Opera is always innovative and comprehensive browser which stands out
as a reference. Its speed, its many features, interface and now the
arrival of extensions and highlighting its strengths could make him win
market share with the public. To discover them, you will not regret it!
“Barracuda”

will have an associated code name.

Opera runs on a variety of personal computer operating systems, including
Microsoft Windows,
Mac OS X,
Linux, and FreeBSD. Editions of Opera are available for devices using the Maemo, BlackBerry, Symbian, Windows Mobile, Android, and
iOS
operating systems, as well as Java ME-enabled devices. Approximately
120 million mobile phones have been shipped with Opera. Opera is the
only commercial web browser available for the Nintendo DS and Wii gaming
systems. Some television set-top boxes use Opera. Adobe Systems has
licensed Opera technology for use in the Adobe Creative Suite.
The free Opera browser and platform is still required as a reference in a highly competitive field. As teams of Google Chrome ,
Mozilla Firefox
, Internet Explorer and Safari, the Norwegian Opera Software focuses on
the integration of web standards, optimizing the loading of pages,
customize
the browser and of course modernization of the interface more simple
and ergonomic. Noteworty to mention Håkon Wium Lie, chief technical
officer of the Opera Software company is also the co-creator of the CSS
web standard.
However, Opera is still characterized by the
integration of many ideas and innovations such as the ‘Turbo’ to
compress pages to speed up their display on the small connections and
make savings on 3G packages, “Opera Unite “offering the possibility of
transforming the browser server to share multimedia content or hosting a
forum. It is also a manager of e-mails, customer BitTorrent , the
management of HTML 5 video tag and SVG filter modules of content and
changing the style CSS and many personalization features like complete
themes, widgets and Now extensions.
This new version introduces support long-awaited extensions developed in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Like Mozilla Firefox,
Google
Chrome and Safari, the Norwegian browser will finally have an official
library and an integrated real extension manager. Based on the W3C
specifications, these extensions can be quickly ported to, but also
imported from Google Chrome and Safari browsers which share the same
technology. They can be quickly installed, configured, uninstalled without restarting the browser and will have a graphical interface, will
run in the background and can be deactivated with a click when viewing secure sites through an HTTPS connection.
On
ergonomics aside, we note the arrival of an evolution in the management
of the tabs. It is now possible to overlay multiple tabs by simply
dragging and dropping. We may collect and separate double clicking on
it, but also display fast previews of each tab, flying over this new
item with the mouse cursor. The aim is obviously to facilitate the
management of many native open tabs, but also saves space on the screen.
The manager of integrated mail advantage of some improvements. In
addition to correcting bugs in the traditional past, the client
startup
is faster and scroll bars have been redesigned. Managing saved queries
and filters are now combined in a section called “Labels”. Fields of
research has been simplified and in turn will create a sort rule from a
simple query. Finally, we note a support still further web standards,
optimizing the JavaScript engine as well as the prominence of mouse
shortcuts.
