What's new in Opera: Private Web Browser 42.5.2246.114172
Change log:
- Revamped Home and tab logic:
Home is no longer a single non removable tab. It's the startpage of any new tab opened from tab manager and a webpage opened from Home will be loaded in the same tab. It will work like any other page, tapping the Home icon will load it as the next page in the tab.
(Note: The default startpage on Home is newsfeed, but it can easily be configured to open on Speeddial in Settings->Home page)
- New loading animation (from homepages)
- Bug fixes
About Opera: Private Web Browser 42.5.2246.114172
Your Android browser should do more than just display web pages. Opera for Android now has a built-in news feed that helps you find more content you’ll love - it also saves data by blocking ads and compressing video and images.
Top features
● Smart news feed: Swipe through a range of news channels within the browser, subscribe to your favorite channels, and save stories to read later.
● Sleek new look: Our new, lightweight design makes it easier to find what you need and do what you came online to do.
● Block ads: Opera’s integrated ad blocker helps your pages load faster and saves your data for the content you’re actually interested in.
● Compress videos: Watch more videos on your mobile device while using less data. Turn on video compression in the data savings settings to prevent videos from stalling.
● Add to home screen: Add any website directly to your device's home screen to access it even faster. Sites like Facebook can even send you push notifications, just like an app.
Other highlights
● Save data: Switch to data-savings mode to load pages faster than ever on slow networks. Powered by our famous compression technology, the Opera browser works hard to save loads of data without breaking your browsing experience.
● Browse privately: Use private tabs to go incognito anywhere on the internet without leaving a trace on your device.
● Read comfortably on any screen: With Opera, you can force zoom on any page, making it easier to read. We even make sure the text fits nicely on your screen with automatic text wrap.
