Opera is an Internet browser with a pop-up blocker, multiple-windows navigation, mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts, e-mail client with Spam filter, and integrated search all for user security and speed. The cross-platform browser includes a multitude of other functions such as integrated built-in e-mail client, IRC-compatible chat, support for RSS newsfeeds, password manager, one-click customization and privacy protection settings.

Changes since 8.01

Implemented support for BitTorrent Use like any other file download in Opera -- click the torrent link and select "Save". Improved default handling of encodings in spelling checker. Multiple stability fixes When an installed plug-in is available, use as default handler rather than display download dialog. Fixed issue where search.ini could be picked up from wrong location
