Opera browser
for PC is a web browser software developed by Opera Software for Windows operating
systems. This web browser is one of the most secure, fast and stable browser
software for PCs. This browser has been around for more than 20 years and remains
as one of the oldest web browsers. As at today, the browser still has millions
of users globally and according to StatsCounter Opera has a market share of about 4 percent.
You can download the Opera offline installer setup for free from this web page.
The latest version of the browser has been improved to
provide smooth browsing experience for its users which is why I would recommend
this software to any user. It now works efficiently by consuming less of your
system resources like RAM and CPU. It also uses the Blink Engine which
implements all the current web standards.
Getting the browser installed on your PC is very easy to do.
Once you have downloaded the Opera standalone installer setup, all you have to
do is to double click the exe file to install the program. The installation
process completes in about a minute or two depending on your PC. During the
process you will be asked to make the browser your default browser which I guess
you will do.
The first thing you will notice about the browser is how
fast it starts when you launch it. It responds quickly and is more secure.
Opera offline installer for PC has a pleasing user interface design. To me
Opera has the best default design interface among most major browsers. It is richer
in features and very easy to use. It opens websites in a snap and displays them
correctly on any device.
This web browser is now bigger and better than the previous
versions. The address bar of the browser now combines which the search bar. So
now you can either enter web URLs or perform web searches directly from the
address bar (however you can separate the two in the settings window). The default
search engine used over here is Google although you can change it to preferred search
engine in the setting window. The browser now lets you type less when you try
to visit previously visited web pages. Immediately you start to type the
website address Opera automatically pulls down a list of your web history which
has the URL. The same goes for web searches with a list of suggested keywords.
At the far left side of the body of the start-page you will
find the sidebar. The sidebar has a list of tools to make navigating and
browsing more easily. Opera standalone installer version for Windows makes it
easy for you to access your web history, bookmarks, personal news and speed
dial from the sidebar. The sidebar now includes Whatsapp web app which allows
you connect to account and chat directly from the browser. Facebook Messenger
can also be found in the sidebar which allows users to login to their account
and have a chat with their friend and families. The snapshot tool which is
included in the sidebar allows you to take snapshot of webpage.
The start page of the browser has a search bar to allow you
to perform all your searches. Below it is the speed dial section. The speed
dial contains a thumbnail of your favorite websites. This makes it easy for you
to open websites without spending time to enter them in the address bar. You can
easily add websites to this section and as well as move sites to the trash can.
You can also rearrange them by simply dragging and dropping to any position you
want.
Opera offline installer for PC has been made to understand
how to browse and how frequent you browse on some website. It has included a
suggestion below the speed dial to list a thumbnail of websites you visit frequently
for quickly opening.
Tab browsing
Tab browsing has been a core component of Opera standalone
installer and latest version of the browser even adds more features to it. Using
tabs allows you to open several web pages without opening different windows. The
tabs are rectangular in shape. Closing the last tab does not exist the whole
browser, a feature which is not present in browsers like Chrome
and Firefox.
Right clicking on any tab gives some options and command like pinning tab,
muting tab, cloning tab, opening and closing tabs and last but not the least
saving tabs to speed dial. Previous versions had a tab preview which when you
hover any tab displays a preview the web page but version has it disabled. It can
be enabled again by going to the settings, then navigate to browser, move to
the user interface section and click on show tabs preview.
Personal News Feed
The personal news feature of the browser serves you with the
latest headlines on the internet. The browser pulls headlines from tops
websites within your selected country. You can edit the type of content you
want to see. You can be served contents related to business, arts, science,
technology, lifestyle, gaming, food and many more. In addition, you can dictate
which websites to receive news from.
