Software Update: Opera 70.0.3728.144

Opera has released version 70 of its web browser of the same name. Opera uses the Blink engine. This is part of Chromium, which is also used by Google Chrome, among others. Opera is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. There are also versions for Android and iOS. In version 70 we find little new functionality and the emphasis has been on improving existing functions. The release notes for this release can be found below.

History and bookmark panel improvements

The history and bookmark panels in Opera’s sidebar now have a wider search field, making it easier to find history items and specific bookmarks.

Search in Tabs – recently closed tabs

In response to user suggestions, the Search in Tabs feature has been updated to include a recently-closed tabs section at the top for quicker access.

Search in Tabs – tab content

We have also made it much easier and more intuitive to find the tab you want by typing keywords. Beyond searching through URLs and tab titles, matching text from tab content is also included when using the Search in Tabs feature. To access the Search in Tabs feature, simply use the Ctrl+space keyboard shortcut.

More Workspace icons

Last but not least we have added some fun, cute, and useful icons to Workspaces to give you even more customization options as well as easier visual reference.

As always, many more tweaks and improvements have been included in this update. For more details, please check the full changelog.
