DOWNLOAD MANAGER. MADE BETTER.
With the ability to start, pause, resume and rename files, you can download and keep the movies, music and other media files you want at your convenience.

CUSTOMIZABLE ADDRESS BAR.
So many devices. So many different versions of Android. To give you the best possible experience regardless of your phone or the size of your hands - we let you have the navigation either on top or at the bottom of the screen. Try it out in the settings!

A SHINY NEW OPERA 11.60

, ,

Just in time for the holidays, we bring you the gift that keeps giving all year round: a new browser! Say hello to Opera 11.60.

We've redesigned everything from the inside out, starting with a brand-new HTML engine. More websites will work better and load faster in Opera - even secure sites using SSL technology. And not only that. Now vector graphics (SVG) can mix with HTML, enabling the next generation of Web applications.

Other great new features include a star function in the URL field which allows you to add your favorite sites to Speed Dial instantly, as well as a number of changes to Opera's email client to make it more intuitive and streamlined.

Opera Mini 4.4 for J2ME

, ,


With our love for Android and flashy phones it's easy to forget how important J2ME is. But the fact remains that lot of Opera Mini users with feature phones such as Nokia flip flops use it to go Online. This makes J2ME one of the most important mobile operating systems out there.

We are happy to release an important update for these users: Opera Mini 4.4 is now available from m.opera.com.

This update provides J2ME users with the new and improved network features found in Opera Mini 6.5. We've also included several important stability and performance fixes. The most important fix is probably solving login issues with Opera Link. Samsung users should also find some updates and fixes in the user interface.

What are you waiting for? Check out m.opera.com and update to Opera Mini 4.4 today!

Opera 12 Alpha with Hardware Acceleration

, , ,

Opera Next

As announced at Up North Web we are happy to present the Opera 12 Alpha. The main feature we need help testing is Hardware Acceleration. We also re-introduce skins in the form of themes, give the address field some needed attention, and update to the new HTML5 engine!

Hardware Accelerated

Opera just got even faster by hitching a ride with your graphics card for more processing power. This is what's known as hardware acceleration. This will this improve your everyday browsing, with OpenGL you can also enjoy the web in 3D like never before. To check if your Opera 12 alpha install has hardware acceleration, type "opera:gpu" in the address field.

Themes

We love to style and personalize our browser, with Themes this is even easier! We've created some pretty cool themes to show you how it works, but you can also make your own themes using any image you like.

To get your hands on these new themes check out addons.opera.com/themes and get them now! Don't worry though, we still have the skin support if you want to go all out when customizing Opera.

Download

Remember that this is a Alpha build. Some bugs are expected, but we need your help to test it. Simply download it trough Opera Next. If you find any issues please use our forums or the Bug Report Wizard to help us out! Feel free to share your initial impressions and Angry Bird moments in the comments!
