Download Opera 17.0.1241.45

Opera has released version 17 of its web browser of the same name. Earlier this year, Opera switched from its in-house render engine Presto to Chromium, which is also used by Google Chrome, among others. Opera is available for Windows and OS X, but not yet for Linux. Version 17 uses a newer release of Chromium, makes it possible to pin tabs and can set its own search engine.
