Today's release affirms Opera Software's leadership in cross-platform browser development. In addition to the usual Opera features such as speed, size, and stability, users will find exciting features not yet implemented in the Windows version. In light of the consistent praise we've received from the Linux community for our beta releases of Opera for Linux, we firmly believe that this is simply the best browser for Linux, reflecting the fact that Opera is the leader in browser technology on the Linux platform. The release of Opera on Linux is a major benefit for this market. Opera chose our software development framework, Qt, to build such a fine product.
Opera is the fastest full-featured browser on the market today.
