One-click setups:
Opera Eases Migration From IE; Exposes Power Features to Developers
Oslo, Norway - July 13, 2004

Opera Software's browser has long been recognized for its speed and inventiveness, with Opera having driven browser innovation over the last few years. To assist the Microsoft Internet Explorer users in search for a better browser, Opera Software today released a series of one-click setups that instantly change Opera's toolbars, menus, keyboard shortcuts, and mouse gestures, one of which emulates an IE-like look and feel. With this, migrators from IE have an even easier start on a more advanced Web browsing application.

"Opera is not only the fastest browser on Earth, but the most customizable browser on Earth," says Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software. "We are doing everything we can to encourage people to move on to more advanced technologies with a simple start in Opera, offering them the sort of settings that they are accustomed to before they dive in to everything Opera offers. There should be no learning curve for Web surfers wanting a better Internet experience."

Opera users can download the new setups to apply browser settings characteristic of IE, Firefox, Safari, and an advanced developer's edition. The one-click downloads are available at http://www.opera.com/startup/customize/.

Major New Features

One of the first things you will notice when you start Opera is the ability to select whether to use Opera as an Internet suite or as a browser only. The latter option disables Opera Mail, which can be enabled again via Preferences > Programs and paths. The first-time setup dialog also allows you to easily disable the personal bar and panel selector to increase your page viewing area.

You may have noticed the increased size of the install file. This release comes with a set of voice libraries that enable the user to control Opera by speaking commands to it. Opera now supports XHTML+Voice 1.2 and the CSS3 speech module (properties new to CSS3 are prefixed by "-xv-"). With the default setup, you can navigate pages, have selected text read to you, and control parts of the browser. Select some text, hold down Scroll lock, and say "speak" or visit the IBM Multimodal demo page for a demo. More information about using voice can be found in the help files by issuing the command "voice help" or in the Opera with Voice tutorial. Join the discussions about this new feature in #voice on irc.opera.com.
Voice functions only work on Windows 2000 and XP.

Opera 7.60 features in-line error pages, allowing you to continue to work if a page loading in the background gives an HTTP error. The error pages include helpful tips to troubleshoot possible problems and stay out of your way until you are ready to deal with them.

Not everyone has huge monitors or lots of free workspace. That is one of the reasons we created Medium-Screen Rendering (MSR), available by selecting "Fit to width" from the "View" menu. MSR reformats pages so they fit better on smaller screens. The end result is a page that is very close to the original design, but that should not require horizontal scrolling.

Opera Software Announces
The Opera Browser for Windows Mobile
_{Oslo, Norway - August 31, 2004}

Opera Software today announced that its revolutionary Opera smartphone browser will soon become available for Microsoft Windows Mobile software. Windows Mobile is a completely new platform for Opera, offering operators, handset vendors, enterprises and end users more choice of platforms that provide outstanding Web browsing on small, restricted smartphone screens.

Opera's range of smartphone browsers includes Small-Screen Rendering (SSR) technology, an Opera innovation that enables users to browse regular Web pages for the first time on small mobile screens by reformatting the page and thus eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling.

"Operators want to offer their subscribers the same Internet and brand experience on all the different handsets coming from the various manufacturers, necessitating a fully integrated cross-platform browser," says Rolf Assev, Executive Vice President Business Development, Marketing and Strategic Alliances, Opera Software ASA. "We've heard the market's call, and we're responding. Opera will soon offer a new Internet experience with Windows Mobile-based Smartphones."

"Microsoft is excited to see the increased level of innovation and opportunity generated by the broad adoption of Windows Mobile-based devices," said Mark Spain, director of the Mobile and Embedded Devices Group at Microsoft Corp. "Opera's support of the Windows Mobile platform delivers more choice to mobile operators and customers and demonstrates the openness of the platform."

Opera tailors the Web for TV: TVR Displays the Full Internet in True Form on TV Screens
_{Oslo, Norway - September 9, 2004}

In connection with the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) 2004, Opera Software today unveiled a new edition of its screen rendering technologies, this time tailored for the television. TV Rendering (TVR) makes the necessary adjustments to perfectly display any Web page on any TV screen, opening up for a great Internet experience on TV sets for the first time.

With Web pages being designed for viewing on high-resolution desktop computer monitors, TV screens with their low resolution and varying screen sizes have not been able to emulate a satisfactory Internet experience. Today's release of TVR for the first time introduces users of broadband enabled set-top boxes (STB), or other iTV related hardware, to the potential of full Internet browsing that is as true and content-rich as experienced with desktop computers. TVR focuses on pixelation and problematic colors, adapting different elements individually to suit the TV screen. Original fonts, colors, design, and style are left virtually untouched.

"With TVR, the broadcasting industry can finally incorporate the full Web into TVs and set-top boxes," says Jon S. von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software ASA. "Full Web access on TVs will soon be a requirement from consumers. After all, if you would go to a store today and choose between a TV set that offered Web and TV or one that just had TV, which one would you choose? With TVR, the Internet is ready to transform the broadcasting industry."

Opera's partner, Equator Technologies, a leading provider of high-performance, programmable and power-efficient system-on-a-chip (SoC), processors for networked video entertainment and communications, is ready to deliver to TVR with their winning StarFish, Tetra and Dolphin hardware platforms.

"The ability to combine TV broadcasting with Internet content opens up an almost unimaginable array of new great features for the old screen," says John O'Donnell, CTO, Equator Technologies. "TVR makes it possible to comfortably surf the Web from the comfort of your sofa, removing the need for many to have a separate work-like computer at home. The technology to make TV's into complete home entertainment and information devices at a reasonable price is now available, now it's just up to operators to provide it to their users."

Please note that voice support in clean installs now needs to be manually enabled in Preferences > Voice. Enabling voice will prompt the user to download and install voice libraries.

Menus have undergone a significant simplification. Note in particular:

Toolbar and panel customization is now done from within the "Customize" dialog.

Added dropdown button for easy access to closed pages on the page bar. The button doubles as blocked pop-up notifier.

The security icon (padlock) and RSS icon are now displayed within the address field when on a secure page or a page correctly linked to a valid RSS newsfeed.

"Block unwanted pop-ups" is now enabled by default.

Fix for tabbed/MDI browsing vulnerability reported in Secunia Advisory SA12713. For more information, see Opera's security advisory: Phishing attack possible with a delayed JavaScript prompt
