New update - Opera developer 47.0.2628.0 😉
The change log, and the announcement.
Adding more convenience to your search pop-up
The search pop up has been a principal feature for our browser since the release of Opera 39, creating convenience for users to search, and copy any text they highlighted. We later tacked on the currency converter to the pop up in Opera 42, easing online shopping.
Now, converting distance, weight, volume, speed and temperature from the convoluted imperial system, to the standard metric system (or vice-versa) is as easy, as highlighting the value. Yet another reason to forgo your calculator, and math skills – Opera will do the work for you.
Here are the units available for conversion (US measures) in the current developer build:
lb ⇄ kg
°F ⇄ °C
oz ⇄ g
mph ⇄ km/h
mpg ⇄ l/100km
gal ⇄ l
qt ⇄ l
fl ⇄ ml
mi ⇄ km
yd ⇄ m
ft ⇄ m
in ⇄ cm
kW ⇄ hp
lb ft ⇄ Nm
You can turn the search pop-up on, or off in the Preferences, under the Browser -> User interface settings.
