Personalize


Make it your own

With a catalog full of colorful themes, you can give the browser a look you love, instantly. Or, create a design of your own!

Customize the 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.

Convenient bookmarks

It’s easy to bookmark your favorite sites — just press the star function in the browser’s address field.

Create your own shortcuts

Opera offers many ways to perform browser actions, and you can also customize your 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’s no wasted time. From the Downloads tab, you can keep track of the progress of downloads and pause and resume them as needed.

Use extensions

Opera extensions provide useful services such as news updates, weather reports, password management — even online translation.

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.

Geolocation support

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 the browser and any extensions 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.
