14 DAY TRIAL // Opera released today a new stable version of its Chromium-based web browser for computers, Opera 53, which is a minor update revamping the look of the tabs and the address bar.
Based on the latest Chromium 66.0.3359.139 open-source web browser, Opera 53 is now rolling out to Linux, Mac, and Windows users worldwide with optimizations to how tabs are displayed on the tab bar when you have numerous tabs opened, especially for Mac users, making it easier to find a certain tab in the multitude of opened tabs.
"Today, we’re transitioning Opera 53 from the beta line to stable. This build revamps the appearance of tabs and the address bar," said Krystian Kolondra, EVP Desktop at Opera. "Mac users find it difficult to locate and manage a particular tab when many of them are open. We figured out a way to optimize this and made your plentiful tabs’ favicons more visible."
Address bar colors, multiple tabs display
For all platforms, Opera 53 also improve the way multiple tabs are displayed in the web browser in the way that you can now click on a certain tab, even if it only has a small icon, to expand it. Opera devs say this makes tabs even more visible and easier to manage when you're dealing with numerous tabs on a single browsing session.
To make Opera browsing even more enjoyable, Opera 53 revamps the appearance of the address bar by introducing fresh, sharpened coloring. There are also various bug fixes in this release, improving favicons for bookmarks not being displayed until you visit the link, clicking the VPN button in the address bar after running a search for Mac users in Ukraine, and more.
