De makers van de populaire browser Opera hebben ons wederom verblijd met een nieuwe versie van dit programma. Een van de vernieuwingen in versie 7.21 is de herintroductie van de kiosk modus. Deze maakt het mogelijk om bijvoorbeeld het downloaden van bestanden te blokkeren. Zulke instellingen zijn vooral praktisch in publiekelijk beschikbare omgevingen zoals bijvoorbeeld een bibliotheek. Het volledige changelog ziet er als volgt uit:
