Opera

Opera One on iOS is here! With numerous exciting new features, this is the biggest upgrade to Opera for iOS so far with its sleek, intuitive navigation system wrapped in a clean interface. With the new design taking inspiration from our award-winning Opera One browser, we have moved the address bar to the bottom of the screen for maximum convenience. But that’s not all, it now disappears altogether when users scroll through a web page allowing for full-screen browsing. This update also sees the introduction of our new ‘swipe to search’ function, with new search suggestions making it much easier for users to find what they’re looking for by providing intuitive keywords suggestions. We’ve also replaced the newsfeed with a start page carousel. Users can now swipe through this carousel to display a highlighted newsfeed and live scores from any ongoing football matches, ensuring they don't miss any of the action! With so much more to be said, you can read all about these new features and more here: https://opr.as/f0c566

Today, Opera requested that the EU General Court annul the European Commission’s decision not to designate Microsoft Edge as a gatekeeper under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). We would like the progress of the DMA made on smartphones to be extended to PCs and for a browser ballot screen to be introduced, making sure everybody gets to easily choose their default browser on their PC. Due to its absolute scale, number of business users and end users, and privileged position on Windows, we believe Edge requires the designation of ‘gatekeeper’ to ensure fair competition and user choice for all.

We believe in the power of local AI & LLMs, so we created the first user-friendly tool out there for users to test their computers’ hardware on AI readiness! Available on Opera Developer, users can simply choose a profile with varying testing complexity and run the test - without any logins required. The results of the test will show users three scenarios, outlining the AI readiness of the hardware based on key indicators such as Tokens Per Second, First Token Latency (FTL),  Model Load Time and many more.
