Opera Releases New 10.6 Web Browser

Today Opera Software released the final version of its 10.60 browser with several new features, more user security and enhanced stability and is now up to 50 percent faster than the previous version.

Some of the new features include:

Geolocation eases the work of putting you on the map by determining your position. To ensure your privacy, you have full control over when this feature is used. To showcase geolocation in action, Opera has created an interactive map to show real-time downloads of the Opera browser. Try it out here.


Built-in video playback with the open WebM format that gives you optimized video right in the browser on all platforms.

Offline applications let you work using web-based applications, without Internet connectivity.

More than 50 percent faster than its predecessor – which was the fastest browser on Earth – in key benchmark tests.

Opera Turbo compresses the data going over your connection up to a factor of two or more, for those congested connections at cafés or a mobile connection at the summerhouse.


Mouse gestures make you a more efficient user when browsing the Web and cuts down time spent on navigating between different webpages.

Built-in search functions give you quick and powerful searches both on the Web and in large webpages.

AVG-supported anti-fraud systems and phishing protection introduced in Opera 10.60.
