Download Opera 10.61 build 3484

The final release of version 10.61 of the web browser Opera was released on Thursday. The Norwegian company of the same name has browsers for all major computer platforms and for a large number of mobile platforms. The browser offers tabs, can be controlled with mouse gestures, has an embedded download manager and offers protection against phishing and malware. Not only can Opera surf, but also email, there is a built-in bittorrent client and you can chat via irc or with Opera’s own developed social network Unite. Version 10.61 uses version 2.6 of the rendering engine Presto, which should improve speed and stability. In addition, this engine opens the door to new possibilities such as geolocation and offline web applications. Version 10.61 is a maintenance release and mainly contains bug fixes:
