Na de eerste release candidate van Opera 11.51 van verleden week is er nog een tweede verschenen waarmee nog één foutje hersteld werd, maar nu is ook de finale verschenen. Opera heeft browsers voor alle belangrijke computerplatforms en voor een groot aantal mobiele besturingssystemen. 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 gesurft, 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. In versie 11.50 treffen we onder andere verbeteringen aan in de speed dial en wachtwoordsynchronisatie, en zijn er diverse verbeteringen aan de lay-out-engine Presto aangebracht. Versie 11.51 is een maintenance release en bevat voornamelijk bugfixes. De volledige lijst met veranderingen sinds 11.50 is hieronder te vinden:
