Opera is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS (Safari WebKit engine).[14][15] Two mobile versions are still active, called Opera Mobile[16] and Opera Mini.[17][18] Opera was released on Monday, April 10, 1995, making it one of the oldest desktop web browsers to exist. It was commercial software for its first ten years and had its own proprietary layout engine, Presto. In 2013, it switched from the Presto engine to Chromium. In 2016, Opera, developed in Norway, became a subsidiary of an investment group led by a Chinese consortium.[19] In 2018, Opera Software went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange. By the end of 2022, the consortium sold all of its shares, and Opera in turn committed to repurchase all of its American Depository Shares to reestablish its corporate autonomy. As of the end of 2023, Opera Software was 72.4% owned by Kunlun, a Chinese public company, making it a subsidiary of that company. Opera CEO Zhou Yahui is a controlling shareholder in Kunlun.[20]In 2019, Opera introduced Opera GX, a browser marketed towards gamers, claiming to have better performance with a built-in ad and tracker blocker and also having a CPU and RAM usage limiter.[21]In 2025, Opera released Opera Air, a more lightweight version of the browser designed with a focus on mindfulness and user well-being.

Pittsburgh has been the birthplace of many entertainment legends and firsts. The city has decided it is time to recognize an important trailblazer, the National Negro Opera Company.The company, its founder and the nonprofit working to save the house where it began will be celebrated in a display in the City-County Building, Downtown, during Black History Month.The display and online content begin with a reception Monday from 6 to 8 p.m. Company founder Mary Cardwell Dawson and the National Opera House, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to restoring, preserving and maintaining the historic Pittsburgh home that once served as company’s first headquarters, will be showcased in the exhibit curated by city staff and Jonnet Solomon, the nonprofit’s executive director. The house is located on 7101 Apple St. in Homewood.KiKi Jones of WAMO-FM will serve as emcee for the reception, which will include remarks by city officials and the National Opera House board chair, entertainment and refreshments.Dawson founded the company, the first permanent Black opera company in the United States, in 1941 after presenting “Aida” at the National Association of Negro Musicians convention earlier that year. She was also the first woman to run an opera company, making history that way as well, according to the National Opera House website.Cast members in costume for the National Negro Opera Company production of “Aida,” backstage at Syria Mosque, Oct. 30, 1941.

To kick off MWC 2025, the Norwegian browser company Opera announced a huge update complete with Browser Operator AI agents. Similar to what Google and ChatGPT offer with its AI agents, Opera is the latest company to join this party, even though it’s the first major browser to bring this AI agentic browsing feature.“For more than 30 years, the browser gave you access to the web, but it has never been able to get stuff done for you. Now it can. This is different from anything we’ve seen or shipped so far,” said Krystian Kolondra, EVP. “The Browser Operator we’re presenting today marks the first step towards shifting the role of the browser from a display engine to an application that is agentic and performs tasks for its users.”Initially demoed as a feature preview, Opera Browser Operator will give users “superpowers” when browsing. For example, by explaining things in natural language, users can ask the Operator to buy a pack of socks from Nike, book a table at a restaurant, and so on. While the Operator performs this task, users can continue to browse the web or do anything else they want.The company says users can oversee the Opera Browser Operator process, as they remain in full control and can also take over or cancel a task at any moment. Unlike other AI agents, Opera affirms that its solution utilizes native, client-side tools. That means Opera doesn’t take screenshots or capture the browsing session to perform a task. In fact, the company says it’s interacting “deep in the core of the browser, keeping user data locally on the device.”Opera Browser Operator is available as a preview ahead of a widespread launch. The company expects to launch it soon as part of the AI feature drop program. BGR will let you know once Opera rolls out its Browser Operator feature to all users.The post Opera announces major browser update with built-in AI agents at MWC 2025 appeared first on BGR.

In 1995, it branched out into a separate company named Opera Software ASA.[2] Opera was first released publicly with version 2.0 in 1996,[3] which only ran on Microsoft Windows.[4] In an attempt to capitalize on the emerging market for Internet-connected handheld devices, a project to port Opera to mobile device platforms was started in 1998.[2] Opera 4.0, released in 2000,[3] included a new cross-platform core that facilitated creation of editions of Opera for multiple operating systems and platforms.[5]Up to this point, Opera was trialware and had to be purchased after the trial period ended. But version 5.0 (released in 2000) saw the end of this requirement. Instead, Opera became ad-sponsored, displaying advertisements to users who had not paid for it.[6] Later versions of Opera gave the user the choice of seeing banner ads or targeted text advertisements from Google. With version 8.5 (released in 2005) the advertisements were removed entirely and primary financial support for the browser came through revenue from Google (which is by contract Opera's default search engine).[7]Among the new features introduced in version 9.1 (released in 2006) was fraud protection using technology from GeoTrust, a digital certificate provider, and PhishTank, an
