Download Opera 10.63 build 3516

The final release of version 10.63 of the Opera web browser was released on Tuesday. The Norwegian company of the same name has browsers for all major computing platforms and for a large number of mobile platforms. The browser offers tabs, can be controlled with mouse gestures, has an embedded download manager and offers protection against phishing and malware. Not only can Opera be used for surfing, but also for e-mailing, there is a built-in bittorrent client and you can chat via irc or with the social network Unite developed by Opera itself. Version 10.60 uses version 2.6 of the rendering engine Presto, which should improve speed and stability. In addition, this engine opens the door to new possibilities such as geolocation and offline web applications. Version 10.63 is a maintenance release and mainly contains bug fixes.
