PC World compared it to demo models that automakers and hardware vendors release to show their visions of the future. To demonstrate how radically different a browser could look, Opera Neon, dubbed a 'concept browser', was released in January 2017.

#WHO DEVELOPED OPERA CODE#

In January 2017, the source code of Opera 12.15, one of the last few versions still based on the Presto layout engine, was leaked. Many distinctive Opera features of the previous versions were dropped, and Opera Mail was separated into a standalone application derived from Opera 12. On, a beta release of Opera 15 was made available, the first version based on the Chromium project.

#WHO DEVELOPED OPERA SOFTWARE#

That day, Opera Software confirmed it would follow Google in implementing Blink. On 3 April 2013, Google announced it would fork components from WebKit to form a new layout engine, Blink. Opera Software planned as well to contribute code to WebKit. On 12 February 2013, Opera Software announced that it would drop its own Presto layout engine in favor of WebKit as implemented by Google's Chrome browser, using code from the Chromium project. On 16 December 2010, Opera 11 was released, featuring extensions, tab stacking (where dragging one tab over another allowed creating a group of tabs), visual mouse gestures and changes to the address bar. According to Opera Software, it made Opera 10.50 more than seven times faster in SunSpider than Opera 10.10.

With version 8.5, released in 2005, the ads were completely removed, and the browser's primary financial support came through revenue from Google (by contract, Opera's default search engine). Subsequent versions have given users the choice of seeing banner ads or targeted text ads from Google.

With version 5.0, released in 2000, Opera became ad-sponsored, displaying ads to users who had not paid for it.

To this point, Opera was trialware and had to be purchased after the trial period.

Opera 4.0, released in 2000, included a new cross-platform core that facilitated the creation of editions of Opera for multiple operating systems and platforms. Development for mobile device platforms started in 1998.
