Software update: Opera 7.21

The makers of the popular browser Opera have once again delighted us with a new version of this program. One of the innovations in version 7.21 is the reintroduction of the kiosk mode. This makes it possible, for example, to block the downloading of files. Such settings are especially practical in publicly available environments such as, for example, a library. The full changelog looks like this:
