Opera Browser Free Download

Opera may not have won the browser wars in recent years, but it's still a well respected application that ranks fourth in the browser stakes.

Opera users benefit from a built-in BitTorrent client and integrated IRC chat, and it's consistently rock solid and speedy.

Many users first come across Opera Software on their smartphone. Opera Mini, the company's mobile browser, is renowned for its speed and efficiency. The desktop browser benefits from a variety of extensions and the same fast load times. Its JavaScript functionality allows custom code to be used on web pages, offering some of the customisation that GreaseMonkey users enjoy in Firefox.

Users with disabilities choose Opera because of its proven commitment to accessibility and standards compliance. It's also attracted a global following, having been released in 60 languages in addition to English.

Other benefits include:

Customisable keyboard shortcuts.

Customisable mouse gestures.

Voice control and screen reading fot sight and hearing impaired users.

Optional proxy support for super-fast loading.

The use of a master password to secure saved passwords.
