Opera Year in Review 2014: A Look at a Great Year for Opera Software
All the big names in the software industry do a “year in review” at the end of the year. Microsoft did it, Apple did it, Google did it, Facebook did it, even Yahoo! did it. So why wouldn’t Opera Software do it as well? After all, 2014 was an eventful year for the Norwegian software developer.
Take a look at some highlights from Opera Software’s great year.
Bookmarks – Visually Organize Them, Easily Share Them
The last two Opera releases focused on bookmarks. Opera 25 introduced a new “visual bookmarks” feature because bookmarks need to be pretty, not just useful.
And Opera 26 introduced a new option to share bookmarks with others. Because what’s the point of collecting bookmarks if you can’t share your collections with others?
Video Boost for Opera Mini
Everyone knows that the Opera Mini web browser uses data compression technology to shrink down webpages by as much as 90% and thus ensure that webpages load faster and consume less of your data plan. The cool thing about the new Opera Mini 9 for iPhone and iPad is that it can compress videos.
Opera Max Is Slowly Rolling Out to More Countries
Opera Max is a data savings app that can compress videos, images and text. Thanks to Opera Max you can browse the web or use your favorite apps and use less of your data plan. As Opera Software explained, Opera Max can extend your data plan by up to 50%.
As of this year, as of 2014, Opera Max is available in 87 countries around the world.
Opera Coast, the Browser iPhones Deserve
This year, Opera Software rolled out a new web browser for iPhones – Opera Coast, the browser your iPhone deserves.
My colleague Frederick Barton can’t put it down. “While using Opera Coast, you can expect nothing less than fast browsing speed, comfort and elegance,” he said.
I just have to mention that earlier this December, Opera Software rolled out Coast 4.0, an important update that comes with some cool enhancements.
The First Web Browser for Samsung's Gear S
The first web browser for Samsung’s Gear S smartwatch is Opera Mini, a finger-friendly web browser that works on almost any phone and has more than 250 million monthly users around the world.
Millions of Users around the World
More than 100 million people use Opera on their Android smartphones, more than 50 million people in India use the Opera web browser, more than 30 million people in Indonesia use Opera Mini.
