Opera Add-ons

Extensions and themes for the Opera desktop browser

Recommended extension awards

, ,

The Opera Add-ons catalog features many recommended extensions. This is a great way for new Opera users to easily find a great extension to use. We want to grow our repository quality even further, and we need your help.

If you can create or update en extension and get it recommended on our site, we will grant 10 of you a gift card equal the value of a Samsung Galaxy Tab!

Sweet! I'm in! How do I get started?

Upload a new or update an extension and make sure you follow the tips below:

  • The extension must be useful for its intended audience.
  • It should not have any obvious bugs.
  • Icon and screenshots should be clean and crisp.
  • The screenshot should clearly depict how the extension will appear to the user and how it can be used.
  • Add a concise description to cover what the extension does, and how it can be used.
  • A high rating from your extension users.

If you have never made an extension before, we've got you covered. Follow the development instructions in Opera extensions developer's guide. Good luck!

Examples of previously recommended extensions

Good luck everybody!

Update! [May 25 2011]: We have decided that out of the total 10 extension authors that will receive an award, at least 3 of those will be dedicated for Speed Dial extensions. :-)

Developers: enjoy our new URL Filter APICatalog update!

But why do I have to update™ my shiny little Extension – still beautifully working as if it hatched just yesterday (though still disappointingly underrated or neglected ,p ) – to participate, why? ;)

@XenoAntares: smile Spread the word a little and get people voting and using it! I do agree, it is a shiny little thing you've weaved together there.

@Nimesh, as Spirobind suggested, spread the word about your extension, get some votes and it will help!

@Sagar: I did not see any link for votes. Do you mean ratings on the extension page?

@Sagar Chandna:
I developed Shopping Assistant. Will I get one of 10 Samsung Galaxy Tabs? bigsmile

This certainly boosted my motivation to finish updating one of my extensions.

Will there be an official announcement when the prizes are handed out? For that matter, is there a specific deadline, or is that still to be determined?

And this one
Noteit Posts - https://addons.opera.com/addons/extensions/details/noteit-posts/
Add notes to a URL or domain to remind you of the important things.Noteit posts allows for the addition of persistent notes to any webpage.
----
And finally, last but not least
