Opera 12.14 FINAL for linux

The days when major browser updates were few and far between are over. Nowadays, it’s de rigeur for web-browser manufacturers to speed up development, which means opening up less stable builds to the masses in order to get them bug-checked as quickly as possible. It may only enjoy a fraction of the market share afforded to rival web browsers, but Opera 12.14 is by no means a poor relation to the likes of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Internet Explorer.

In many ways it’s been a pioneer – Opera-browser was the first major browser to use tabs and provide a speed dial for its home page, and it has always been one of the quickest browsers out there thanks to a lightweight footprint, something its rivals are only now starting to embrace. Another unique feature is a built-in mail client enabling you to combine browsing and email in one application.
