Opera just passed 90 million users, and we are celebrating this all over the world. In Oslo, home of the Opera HQ, fans were flooding the streets cheering and celebrating this awesome achievement.
While fans from all over the world were celebrating in Oslo, the President of the United States, Barack Obama landed at Oslo Airport!
We were not surprised seeing Obama appearing in Oslo, especially not since we have seen him appearing in Opera-related situations before. If you like the art, head on over to Art of Obama and buy the awesome t-shirt by Alex Ross.
Luckily, we also managed to grab ahold of a news report from the event. Take a look!
In this new installment, we want to show you how to pull of the time-saving and awesome tricks that make an Opera "power user".
Speedy searches!
Let's start off with searching by using the address bar. Did you know that by typing in "g [keyword]" in your address bar, you search for that keyword in Google? We call this type of search a "G-Space" search. Just pretend your address bar is the Google search box, and you are good to go. Any search phrase like "site:www.opera.com [keyword]" is supported, so play around with it.
This tip should save you valuable time, each and every time you do a search!
Use other search engines? Opera has several built-in searches, but you can also create your own. Use this snappy guide, and make your personal custom search!
Find a search box like the one on www.google.com. Right-click inside the search field, and select "Create Search".
Type in your keyword for this new search. For example this would be where "g" is the keyword for Google searches.
Within the first week, 12.5 million people discovered the power of Opera 10.10 with Opera Unite. This download rate shatters previous Opera records and marks an increase of 25 percent when compared to the download rates of Opera 10, launched two months earlier.
Opera currently counts for about 45 million active desktop users, with millions more using Opera on various types of devices, including mobile phones, game consoles, TVs and portable media players. The browser is developed with the company’s One Web mission in mind, in order to create a universal Web experience on any device, anytime, anywhere.
We get quite a few questions about the difference between Opera Mobile 10 and Opera Mini 5. A post published on both the Opera Mobile - and Opera Mini blog has now been published to help clarify this matter.
