Download Opera 53.0.2907.37

Opera has released version 53 of its web browser of the same name. Opera switched from its in-house render engine Presto to Blink four years ago. This is part of Chromium, which is also used by Google Chrome, among others. Opera is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. There are also versions for BSD and Solaris, but they are still based on the old technology. In version 53 we find the following changes and improvements:

Optimization of a tab’s display

Mac users find it difficult to locate and manage a particular tab when many of them are open. We figured out a way to optimize this and made your plentiful tabs’ favicons more visible.

To make it even more visible and easier to manage, clicking on a tab will expand it.

Address bar colors

There is also some fresh, sharpened coloring done to the address bar.

Chromium was updated to version 66.0.3359.139.
