Search suggestions predict queries as you type, making searching quicker and easier. Google search predictions are now built into Opera. When using the search field or searching from the address field with the ‘g’ search keyword, Google search predictions will appear.
- Tab stacking
Dragging one tab over another allows you to create groups of tabs. Now you can keep dozens of webpages open, organized and under control.
- Extensions
It is simple to extend Opera’s functionality by visiting our extensions catalog. Some extensions create a button you can click or have menus, while others just work in the background. See video.
