Web notifications

From now on, Opera officially supports web notifications.

 

These are a special kind of pop-up triggered by a site.

Notifications alert the user outside of the context of the browser.

Usually, the operating system UI is used to display the alert.

 

This is very convenient way for web page and web app makers to inform their users about events,

such as the delivery of email or a comment posted on a blog.

 

You can check it out if you use the Gmail web client. Enable Desktop Notifications in your Gmail settings and have fun!

New Mac installer

This release also includes a brand new network installer for Mac.

 

The smaller-sized downloader fetches the latest version of Opera when you?re connected to the web.

 

It installs and runs our browser automatically. The new installer is less prone to errors and should manage to download a package when you?re on poor-quality networks.

Network installation for Windows has been available for some time and now we?ve brought it to Mac.

 

New users can download the network installer once and, from then on, it will always install the latest Opera from our servers.

 

Of course, the regular auto update still works.

There can be situations where you may need the full, offline package installer.

 

We haven?t gotten rid of previous solution, just added the smaller option. For anyone who?s worried, you will still be able to download the full size installer.

The new, improved changelog

You asked for more detail information about bugfixing and we?ve improved the changelog to help out. But, bear in mind that the log is created automatically, issues are filed by people and mistakes can happen. Now, every bug is marked with a *.

Opera Developer 25 update: A first glance at bookmarks

released an update to Opera Developer 25, it is not actually a big surprise that we are working on a bookmark manager. But, in this release, the bookmark flag is enabled by default.

Furthermore, this update comes with many fixes for things like MP3, H.264, HiDPI and more. As always, a complete list of changes can be found in the changelog.

Bookmarks

First, take a look at the main Opera menu. You?ll find a new item there ? Bookmarks.

Play around with that menu and see what happens. Now you can quickly enable or disable the bookmarks bar by selecting Show bookmark bar.

If you want to bookmark a page, click the heart icon, found on the right side of the combined address and search bar. We think it?s cool that Opera now suggests a thumbnail for your new bookmarks. There are a few suggestions and you can change the image if you think another works better for you.

 

The bookmarks page (found by clicking Show all bookmarks in the main menu),

contains a list of folders on the left. Use these to manage your bookmarks.

You can organize your folders and personalize how you want your bookmarks to be kept.

It's about damn time!

Does opera link now have actual Boommark and Password sync.  I remember the later versions of Opera had link, but it didnt work and you had to dig into the forums to find out it hadnt been brought over from 13.x or whatever the latest presto version was.

As of right now, opera stable doesn't have sync enabled by default (have to enable it in opera:flags), opera beta has bookmark sync enabled by default. Opera dev has bookmark, SD and Tab sync enabled. We don't have password sync yet but I'm sure its coming (IMO lastpass is much better than browser's password management/sync anyway though).

 

I haven't tried the new tab and speed dial sync yet (I'm currently using beta channel), but the bookmarks sync is working really great for me in beta across multiple devices (my windows desktop, macbook, and android phone).

IMO lastpass is much better than browser's password management/sync anyway though.

And more secure IMHO.
