Discover the new standard in Web browsing. Download Opera today to get the fastest and most powerful Web browser available and make the most of your time online.

Benefits:

• Speed Dial: Your favorite sites are just one click away at all times.
• Search Shortcuts: Faster search – type your queries directly into the address bar.
• Trash Can: Instantly reopen recently closed tabs.

Major Features:

1. Fresh new look: Weve cleaned up our front yard. The Opera interface is designed to make the advanced functions easy and effective to use. Menus, toolbars and other elements have undergone our "slim and clean"-routine. The licensed version has the largest browsing area in the industry.
2. Security: Stay away from spy-ware, viruses, and other malicious applications that silently attack your computer while you are surfing the Web. For example, Opera displays security information inside the address bar, located next to the padlock icon that indicates the level of security present on a site. Opera 8 also provides protection against phishing attacks and automatically checks for security updates. More about security
3. Speed: Were holding on to our claim: "The Fastest Browser on Earth". In Opera 8, further improvements have been made in the way the browser reads pages to allow you to fly the Web.
4. Tabbed browsing and pop-up blocking: Opera pioneered tabs and pop-up blocking ages ago. But theyre still key features that more and more people start enjoying. With tabs you can open multiple pages within the same application window. Opera lets you control whether to block all pop-ups, or open only the ones that you have requested.
5. Integrated search: Search your favorite sites, for example Google, eBay, or Amazon without having to go to their Web pages. Use the integrated search window or search directly in the address field using shortcuts (e.g. writing "g Opera" in the address field will search for "Opera" using Google).
6. Customization: Using the appearance dialog you can make Opera look almost any way you want. Move buttons and search fields, add and remove toolbars, and so forth. Opera skins can change the look of your browser by giving it the icons and buttons of your choice.
7. Password manager: Operas password manager, the Wand, remembers your usernames and passwords so you will not have to. The password manager can store more than one username and password combination for each page, and will let you choose which one to use if multiple combinations are stored.
8. Additional features:
   • Full support for Gmail
   • Support for Atom newsfeeds
   • First Web browser to natively support Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG).
9. Speed Dial: Typing addresses for sites you visit frequently is ineffective. Get your favorite Web page with just one click. Speed Dial is a set of visual bookmarks you see when you open a new tab, like a dashboard for your online life. To add a new page, simply click on an empty Speed Dial slot, and Opera will make suggestions based on browsing history and bookmarks.
10. Mouse Gestures: With Opera you can navigate the Web with your mouse. A mouse gesture is performed while clicking and holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse in an easy pattern. Perform movements with the mouse to access well-known functions such as Back, Forward and Open New Tab. As with Opera's keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures are fully customizable, so you can tailor them any way you want.
11. Download Manager with BitTorrent: Download files quicker with Opera. Opera starts downloading as soon as you've saved the file, so there's no wasted time. Pause and resume downloads with the push of a button, and choose multiple files to download simultaneously without any fuss. Opera also features built-in support for the social file distribution protocol, BitTorrent, which makes it easy to download Torrent files without the need for a separate application.
12. Tabs and Sessions: Opera is very light on your computer, so it's possible to have many tabs open at once. Drag and drop tabs around to change their order, or get a preview pausing over them with your mouse. You can even save a session of tabs for later, making it easy to pick up where you left off.
13. Content blocking: Block images, pop-ups, and plug-ins you don't want . Right-click and choose "Block content" to selectively disable annoying elements. To make Web pages load faster, or to avoid offensive content, temporarily turn off images by pressing the image button. In Opera, smart pop-up blocking is turned on by default.
14. Zoom and Fit to width: Is it difficult to read the content on a page? Use Opera's Zoom button in the lower right corner to resize Web pages. If the page is too wide for your screen, simply hit "Fit to Width" and Opera will resize the Web page so you avoid horizontal scrolling.
15. Stay safe with new Fraud Protection and EV: Not all Web pages are what they say they are. In Opera, Fraud Protection is enabled by default, automatically detecting and warning you about fraudulent Web sites. Fraud Protection is powered with phishing information from Netcraft and PhishTank, and Malware protection from Haute Secure. Malware is malicious software hidden throughout the Web. In addition Opera support Extended Validation certificates (EV). This provides added assurance and trust for secure Web sites. Read more about Opera Security.
16. Customize your browser: Opera is easily customizable. Choose among hundreds of skins and setups, add or remove buttons, toolbars, or change the entire layout of the browser. It is easy to do ... or undo.
17. Add a Widget to your life: Widgets are small Web applications (multimedia, news feeds, games and more) that make your desktop experience more fun and useful. Use the Widgets menu to discover new widgets and access your favorites. Visit widgets.opera.com to learn more.
18. Web developers: Meet Opera Dragonfly: Opera 9.5 includes a preview version of Opera Dragonfly, the upcoming developer tools. Opera Dragonfly makes web development using Opera easier than ever, both on your computer and mobile phone.
19. Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG): Opera provides support for Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), an advanced method for rendering images in a Web page. Support includes event listening within a svg module, integration using inclusion types, interoperability with style sheets, and printing output as bitmap images.
20. Feed Preview: Preview a Feed by clicking on the feed icon, and you will see it in clean and efficient multiple-column layout. This makes it easier to see a feed’s content before subscribing to it — or even bookmarking it — and to view what's new in a page quickly, without distractions.
21. Opera Link: Opera Link lets you synchronize data of your choice online, or among different computers and devices. Sync your Speed Dial, Bookmarks, Custom Searches, History and Notes between your work and home computer; take your bookmarks with you on your phone. Learn more.
22. Quick Find: Have you ever forgotten the page where you found that great article or that perfect gift? When using Opera, the browser remembers not only the titles and addresses, but also the actual content of the Web pages you visit.
23. Opera Mail: Opera browser offers an e-mail client designed to optimize your daily e-mail-handling requirements. It is called Opera Mail, and it organizes, indexes and sorts your messages so that you can spend more time doing the real work. Best of all, it is built right into your browser.
24. New browser engine: Opera is quicker to start, faster at loading Web pages and better at running your favorite Web applications.
