On Tuesday, Opera Software hit a new milestone with the final release of Opera browser for Windows and Mac. Highlights of this release include a complete migration over to the Chromium engine, as well as some new tools for improved content discovery. Speed Dial makes organizing your bookmarks a breeze. Opera's move to WebKit and later embracing Chromium signals a new, much more competitive push by the Scandinavian browser-maker to keep up with speedier demands, yet still maintaining some of the classic signature features of previous versions. LastPass data breach and mobile cat-and-mouse. All under the hood improvements aside, Opera has been branding itself as more of a discovery engine, than just another Internet browser rather. Discover the Web via Opera's curated list of articles from various outlets of all categories. letsfilecloud read more. Indeed, when the browser is opened by you, you'll locate a new Discover tab sitting on the welcome page. Opera will curate various news articles around the world. The left drop-down will list various matters and categories tailored around your interests. The right drop-down menu lets you discover content from around the global world in various languages. The Discover feature might sound a little like fancy branding at first for a news aggregator, but it's well executed and appropriate for Opera's trajectory of being more than just a Web browser. Off-Road mode makes its way into the desktop browser also, which strips extraneous content from Web pages to give you just the bare-bone parts of a site, while reducing data and memory consumption. Though this probably makes more sense for mobile users, I'd imagine this is one of many features that'll be incorporated as Opera starts to roll out user account syncing. Omnibox also makes its way into Opera 15. After a few days of use, we are already really impressed with its offerings. Speed Stash and Dial are both very fluid, well-executed takes on bookmarking. filecloudsugar. Using Speed Dial is similar to organizing programs on a touchscreen, so it's no coincidence that Opera has designed this browser to be touch friendly with large containers. You can reorder and reorganize your saved pages or drag them into another to create a folder. Stash is another take on saving pages and reading them later, but functions more like Pocket in that it's meant for pages to be read later. Again, these are features that can be achieved via extensions and Web apps, but having them conveniently built into the browser and working brings its own advantages natively. And this makes sense: earlier in the year, Opera released its mobile version to complement the desktop browser and maintain a regular user experience much more seamlessly across devices than it has ever really done before. Opera has maintained a regular but small fraction of the browser market, with a noteworthy hold on the mobile market with Opera Mini on lower-end devices. wizardsfiles. Version 15 reflects a refocused initiative on performance, design, and surprisingly--content curation. It's still a long, uphill battle when facing heavyweight titans like IE, Firefox, and Chrome, but if users are looking to embrace an alternative take without sacrificing performance, then we highly recommend taking Opera out for a spin.
