The browser has reached another important milestone

In a world dominated by Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox, browsers like Vivaldi and Opera can only impress with special capabilities that are specifically built based on user feedback.

And right now, both these browsers are precisely embracing this approach, as Opera and Vivaldi come with an impressive set of features that you can’t find elsewhere.

Opera has recently reached a new milestone, as version 94 made its way to the beta channel, and just as expected, it comes with big new features to try out. For instance, beta users can now try out the Autohide Sidebar feature, something that obviously makes a lot of sense from a usability perspective while browsing.

Good news for football fans watching the World Cup

At the same time, the official announcement reveals that Opera 94 comes with improvements for football fans, as the browser now supports the video pop-out option for more websites out there (just in case you want to watch a game online).

“This beta build contains the new Autohide Sidebar feature, as well as a few important crash fixes, especially for Workspaces. For those watching the World Cup, we’ve greatly expanded the number of websites supported in Video Pop-out. Enjoy the game and don’t miss a single goal, even if you’re at work!” the Opera team announced.

And last but not least, Opera 94 beta updates the Chromium version to 108. You can find the full changelog on this page.

Opera continues to evolve, and one of the features that set it apart from the rest of the crowd is the built-in VPN. Available free of charge, the VPN allows users to browse the web anonymously, with Opera claiming that no logs are stored on its servers, so your privacy is fully protected when using the browser online.
