14 DAY TRIAL // Opera Software announced the release and immediate availability of the Opera 63 cross-platform, Chromium-based web browser for all supported platforms, including Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Based on the open-source Chromium 76.0.3809.100 project, the Opera 63 web browser comes with a much-improved private browsing mode (a.k.a. Incognito mode) that's more user-friendly and privacy-aware, informing users about what data is removed or can be kept after exiting the private browsing mode.
"We want to make sure you know what kind of data is cleared once you leave private mode. However, we would also like you to be aware that some data from private browsing (like new bookmarks you create) will still be visible in normal mode," explains Joanna Czajka in the release notes.
When closing the private browsing mode in Opera 63, the entire browsing history, cookies and site data, as well as the information you enter in forms will be completely erased. Opera 63 can keep speed dials, bookmarks, and downloaded files if you choose to do so, but will now inform you of that.
New default location for saved bookmarks
Also new in the Opera 63 release, due to popular request, is a new default location for saving bookmarks. Therefore, when saving a new bookmark and you don't select a folder to save it, it will be automatically saved on the Bookmarks Bar instead of the Other Bookmarks folder for easier and quicker access.
Of course, numerous bugs were squashed during the development cycle of Opera 63 to offer you a more stable and reliable browsing experience. You can download Opera 63.0.3368.35 for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows, right now from our free software portal or update your installations via OTA updates.
