Welcome to Opera

Thank you for choosing to browse the World Wide Web with Opera.

About Opera 7

Opera is a powerful Web browser, with all the additional features and functions needed to take full advantage of the Internet.

Less is more

At Opera Software, we believe in making state-of-the-art software. Opera has always been renowned for its speed and small size. But when designing Opera 7, we aimed for an even faster, smaller, and more feature-rich browser with a rewritten rendering engine.

We are proud to say that we succeeded in what would seem as pushing beyond the impossible. And then we even included a revolutionary news and e-mail client, M2.

An open Web

Strictly adhering to the official Web standards has always been important to Opera Software. We support efforts to open the Web to all standards-compliant browsers on all platforms.

Usability and accessibility

Surfing the Web is better with software developed with usability and accessibility in mind. We are therefore confident that users will find that Opera offers the best Internet experience.
