Opera heeft de eerste update uitgebracht voor versie 11.00 van zijn gelijknamige webbrowser. Het Noorse bedrijf heeft browsers voor alle belangrijke computerplatforms en voor een groot aantal mobiele platforms. De browser biedt tabs, kan worden aangestuurd met mouse gestures, heeft een ingebakken downloadmanager en biedt bescherming tegen phishing en malware. Er kan met Opera niet alleen worden gesurfd, maar ook gemaild; er is een ingebouwde bittorrentclient en er kan worden gechat via irc of met het door Opera zelf ontwikkelde sociale netwerk Unite. Versie 11.00 maakt gebruik van versie 2.7 van de rendering engine Presto, wat de snelheid en stabiliteit ten goede moet komen. Ook kan de functionaliteit verder worden uitgebreid met behulp van extensies, kunnen tabs worden gestapeld en is er een auto-updatefunctie. In versie 11.01 treffen we een aantal kleine verbeteringen aan, een flink aantal bugfixes en zijn er enkele beveiligingsproblemen verholpen.
