@another-level It is. Google "opera pub" to find the directory with all desktop versions, including stand-alones. Though I'd better get rid of the Opera.

@another-level Why should they?

@leocg why does Apple mark new models with a number if they could only leave the "iphone" itself? Opera just doesn't care.

@jolang You are comparing carrots and strawberries.

When you download a software from the authors page, you will always get - or you should at least - the latest version, so it doesn't really matter if the version number shows up in the page or not.

I wouldn't say it's ridiculous, but it would be nice if it was mentioned.

As said though, you can go to https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/ for example and look for the latest build that has a setup file for your OS.

I rather want to know what version I'm downloading if I'm re-installing Opera and I shouldn't have to go around hunting for this information either.

I have a distrust of tech companies getting it right and so I want to ensure that I've got the latest version through piece of mind.

I mean, how hard is it just to add the version number next to the download button?

Hi @another-level, if you're (re)installing it from the offline installer (or only click on the download offline package link), you already know which version it includes, since it's shown in the file name.

Nope, it doesn't show the browser version in the filename.

@another-level I'm sure it does here..
Being on https://www.opera.com/download, click the "Download the offline package" link for Windows, and you should see it.

Lol, it is not even the latest version of Opera 63.0.3368.75. So much for saying Opera will always have the most up to date browser on its home page.

@another-level Opera 63.0.3368.75 is the latest version for the Mac. Opera 63.0.3368.71 is the latest version for Windows

Thanks. More click fatigue trying obtain basic information which shouldn't be buried under links. If only information was laid out in a coherent manner without having to go from page to page or link to link.
