Opera has announced the release of its new Opera 21 browser for Mac and Windows. The windows version of the browser is powered by Aura, a technology that hardware-accelerates the entire browser, including the user interface. The Mac version uses Core Animation technology to achieve the same effects.
The team here put a lot of effort into getting Aura to work properly with Opera and the benefits are already paying off. Aura allows for smoother, snappier animations with a more responsive feel. So far, we have only scratched the surface of this technology, and Opera 21’s primary intention was to get Aura working and stable. In the future, you will see further benefits as it allows us to give everything that little extra bit of polish!
What's New In This Version:
● New option lets Opera persistently show a page's complete URL in the address field
● Updated Chromium to 34.0.1847.132 for even better site compatibility.
● Opera will now scale with screens that use 200% DPI setting in Windows. No more tiny fonts!
● We have reworked our Mac keyboard handling slightly to allow for better support of web apps such as Google Docs and GitHub.
● Off-Road mode (Opera Turbo) is explained when it is enabled.
