The All New Opera for Windows and Mac

The Norway-based software company released their desktop version 15 of Opera web browser this Tuesday. Opera is an alternative web browser that features an updated design for Windows and Mac computers

It has a cleaner and modern look just like its competitors.  It also includes various innovative features right at the starting screen that can be made use of.

 The ‘speed dial’ is where users can pin their favorite websites that can be accessed directly by just a click. Users can also get live notifications from sites like Facebook and Gmail right at the starting screen. Various add-ons can be downloaded and added to the list of speed dial and grouping similar applications together.

The ‘stash’ feature is more like a bookmark where users can store or save webpages that they like and organize them into a list that is searchable using keywords. It also has a resizable feature where webpages expand or collapse to just the headings, all in smooth manner.

It also has the ‘discover’ page where users can search top-quality news and entertainment from around the globe. Latest articles can be found based on user’s choice.

Similar to Chrome and Safari, the webpage address bar and the search bar are combined into one. Opera also features a sleeker download manager that includes pop-up listings and statuses of downloading items. Another inclusion is the ‘Off Road’ mode that compresses pages to speed up the browsing even when a network is slow.
