Opera --> New Stable Version Released!

Test your web browser's cryptojacking protection
https://www.ghacks.net/2018/01/23/test-your-web-browsers-cryptojacking-protection/

Opera Software was the first browser-making company that implemented anti-crypto mining protections in the browser natively. Opera Software engineers created a site that you may visit to test whether you are protected against cryptojacking.

Visit the website and click on the start button on it to run the test. It won't take longer than a couple of seconds to complete and the result is either that the browser that you are using is protected or unprotected.
Closing Words
Opera tests the protection against a Coin Hive script only which leaves the possibility that the browser is vulnerable to these scripts. It is only a matter of time usually before new scripts or URLs do get blocked though.

Opera 52 is out: here is what is new
Opera Software released Opera 52 to the stable release channel on March 22, 2018. The new version of the web browser includes ad-blocking improvements, new error page animations and an option to copy multiple URLs at once.
March 22, 2018
https://www.ghacks.net/2018/03/22/opera-52-is-out-here-is-what-is-new/

Opera Software notes that the ad-blocker performs 16 percent faster than in Opera 51 and 44 percent faster than the native ad-blocker of the Google Chrome web browser.
Opera achieved the improvement by optimizing string matching algorithms.

Opera 52.0 includes an option to copy multiple page addresses in one operation. [...] supports two additional tab-related features:

R2 is coming
April 12, 2018
https://blogs.opera.com/desktop/2018/04/r2-is-coming/

Some of you may have spotted our new web page where you can sign up to be notified about something new coming soon from Opera.

Today, we have decided to unveil a tiny bit of the mystery, but just enough to keep you interested. If you sign up here, you will be among the first people to be invited to the R2 online event.

We are very excited to share further details with you soon, and we hope you are eager to see what’s coming. We also plan to reveal more about the upcoming event in our social media channels, so make sure to follow us there.

Opera teases upcoming R2 announcement
Opera Software revealed yesterday that it will make an announcement soon about something the company just calls R2 at the moment.
April 13, 2018
https://www.ghacks.net/2018/04/13/opera-teases-upcoming-r2-announcement/

While I'm not a fan of announcements of upcoming announcements, something that I see far to often nowadays, I would like to share two theories about Opera R2.
The first, and most likely explanation, is that Opera R2 refers to a second phase of Opera Reborn. Opera revealed Reborn back in February of 2017 when it revealed a new design for the Opera web browser.

Opera Reborn was no complete overhaul of the browser but a gradual change to a modern design that did not turn the browser's interface upside down.

Another possible explanation for R2, albeit one that think is not very likely, is that Opera is about to release the successor of the mail client M2. I don't think it is likely because Opera would have given the project a different codename, probably.
Closing Words
We will soon know what R2 is. My best is on the second stage of Opera Reborn which would mean that Opera Software will launch a new version of Opera with a modified design soon.

Opera introduces Opera for PCs with Instant Search and makes browsing on mobile and desktop one

Today is an exciting day! This morning we are hosting a live launch event where we will unveil a surprise new version of our desktop browser and a brand new smartphone browser named Opera Touch. Both browsers have a new search feature we call Instant Search, and they are designed to work together in a new seamless way we’ve named Flow.

We gave this combined mobile and desktop release the codename R2. Following our Neon and Reborn releases, R2 is our third step in creating a new type of web browsers. We believe that Opera Touch and the new Opera for PCs together will truly change the way you surf the web.

Instant Search lets you search the web and find tabs quickly
Searching the web is something we all do numerous times every day. But when we started thinking about how we could make it better, we realized that to make a new search you needed to stop whatever you were doing and return to the address bar or open a new tab. This often led to distractions or fear of losing your current content. We wanted to develop a solution that would be quicker and distraction-free – it’s a new way of searching we’re certain you’ll love.

Instant Search opens a search box on top of the web site you are currently on and lets you look something else up. The current web site is dimmed while you are searching for something new. When you’re finished, just close Instant Search and you’ll resume with the web site you were on. Distraction avoided!

Instant Search also lets you find a tab lost among many
But that’s not everything Instant Search does for you. A quarter of the respondents we asked in our US survey said they usually have several tabs open in their browser and can’t seem to locate the exact one they would like to be working with. Based on this research and our own experiences, we decided to solve this common problem once and for all.

In order to find the tab that is tucked away out of sight, all you have to do is launch Instant Search (Alt + Space, remember?) and press the Tab key on your keyboard to transform your Instant Search into a tab search and then type in some keywords related to your missing tab. You can also enter Tab Search directly by pressing the Ctrl + Space shortcut. Looking up new stuff online and finding older tabs have never been easier.

Flow: mobile and desktop web become one
You might notice another new icon in Opera’s sidebar. This arrow-like button is Flow, our other new feature. Flow is actually pretty cool: it’s a thread for links, YouTube videos and other files that you want to save for later reference or to share with your mobile device, but not with other people.

Opera Touch: a new mobile browser from Opera
Remember, we have already mentioned we’re also launching a new mobile browser for Android (and soon also for iOS): Opera Touch. Opera Touch is designed to work together with your Opera desktop browser, regardless of your device manufacturer. Opening up to this experience actually requires a few steps from you, but bare with us and give it a try – you just might be blown away.

To begin, go to your Google Play store and download Opera Touch on your smartphone. Come back to your Opera browser for desktop and open Flow (the arrow icon). You then scan the QR code displayed on your computer screen with the new mobile app. That’s it, you’re all set.

We have mentioned Opera Touch here, but this is a desktop blog, so we will keep it brief. Opera Touch is a smartphone browser designed to be used on the move and with just one hand – even on large smartphones. You can read more about Opera Touch in our separate blog post.

Check out our launch event recording
This is a lot of news coming from one browser company in a day. To sum it up: we have launched a new version of our Opera PC browser and the brand new Opera Touch mobile browser today. They are a perfect pair and are best experienced together.

We hope you’ll enjoy our two new products just as much as we did creating them. You can also read about all their features and how they interact, as well as watch a recording of our live launch event [here].

Good browser, but way too high resource usage, and no option to put tabs on bottom. Plus the bookmarks manager isn't that smooth like in Vivaldi. I still hate Opera for killing Presto, because Chromium is a disaster.

I definitely agree ! Every new Opera version I hope that they finally added the option to put tabs on bottom, but it never happens ! I think that for Opera developers is a personal question don't do this !!

They simply don't care, so it won't happen. BTW, it seems like their VPN has been improved. It's now faster, and the only reason that I sometimes use Opera. I would like to dump Firefox and switch to Vivaldi, but first they will have to implement the "limited content process" feature into Chromium, because resource usage is ridiculously high in Chrome, Opera and Vivaldi. See link for more info.

Another thing that I hate in new Opera is that I can't remove the pin sidebar.
