Download Opera 20.0.1387.64

Opera has released version 20 of its web browser of the same name. Opera switched from its in-house render engine Presto to Blink last year. This is part of Chromium, which is also used by Google Chrome, among others. Opera is available for Windows, OS X, and Linux. New in version 20 is, among other things, the possibility to create favorites via drag & drop, the speed dial has been improved and it is indicated in the address bar when the certificate of a website is invalid.

Drag and drop Speed ​​Dial entries to the bookmarks bar
See? Just pick it up, drag it and drop it. Just like that. On the bookmarks bar. That way you can access the site even when you’re not on the start page.

Drag and drop a website to your Speed ​​Dial or bookmarks bar
It also works the other way around. You can drag a website and drop it as a bookmark or as a Speed ​​Dial entry.

More menu items
We added shortcuts from the main menu to Speed ​​Dial, Stash and Discover. That way you can go directly to any of them without opening a new tab.

More Speed ​​Dial customization
We added a new feature to the advanced settings. Today, Opera uses quite large thumbnails to display Speed ​​Dial entries. You can disable this and get a much smaller size. This feature is for the minimalists out there, or those with a lot of Speed ​​Dial entries. Note that we are still enhancing advanced settings, you can find more already in developer stream.

There are a host of other improvements to make browsing safer and snappier:

• Improved screenshots for Stash – goodbye blurry images!
• Performance improvements for loading themes.
• An advanced setting to confirm exit when using Command–Q on Mac.
• A broken padlock badge in the URL bar, if the site’s certificate is not valid. This is a “proceed with caution” indicator rather than an red alert.
• Inline installation of extensions. This makes it easy to install security-vetted extensions hosted in the Opera add-ons store, but without leaving its associated site, thereby reducing friction.
