      I noticed the Windows version has "off-road mode" while the Linux version has "turbo mode." The only major difference I've noticed is that turbo on Linux sometimes tells me that I am on a fast internet connection and have no use for the service (although I would like to say that it can be useful for reserving bandwith when you have a download or other bandwith hog running in the background, or when tethering to your phone). Why does it have two different services? What is the difference?

        Turbo was in Opera 12 and earlier, Off-road mode is in Opera 15 and later.

            Looks to me like Windows and Mac are all the way on 20.0 while Linux is only on 12.16. That's a pretty massive lag, does Opera plan on continuing to make official releases for Linux or are we stopping at 12.16?

              Official word says yes we will see a version of Opera (Blink) for Linux, As for when ?, when it's ready.

              As far as I know, all support for Opera Classic (Presto) has stopped. There has been no official word (from what I have seen) that we will be denied security updates (if we should need them) until Opera (Blink) is deemed 'Feature complete', though there was something mentioned on the old forum about this, but can not confirm (or remember) if it was from Opera ASA themselves.
