Sync Speed Dial entries and open tabs

See open tabs from your other devices directly from the start page. At the bottom of the start page, click Tabs. This brings up a nice overview of your browser’s open tabs and open tabs on other devices signed into your Opera account. On the sidebar, click the device’s name to see its open tabs.

We updated the look of Speed Dial and included an option to change an entry’s thumbnail using the heart menu. You can easily access and manage Speed Dial entries from other devices using the bookmark manager. Click Other Speed Dials in the sidebar.

We also added a quick way to access your history directly from the start page and gave the history page a fresher look.

Customize your keyboard shortcuts

You can set almost any browser command to your own keyboard shortcut combination in the settings page. Click Browser on the sidebar. Under Shortcuts, click the Configure shortcuts button. Then, start customizing how you use Opera. For example, you can set F1 to “Paste and go" and quickly get to the site you copied into your clipboard.

See which tab is playing audio
Does it ever happen to you that you open a browser session and one or more tabs is blasting sound? It used to be a hassle to discover the culprit, so we added an audio indicator. Now, there is no problem finding the tab blaring audio at full volume.

Other improvements

Opera 29 beta also includes more goodies, such as: more mouse gestures, and centered standalone images.

Opera used to have class. Now it is just generic. Speed dial looks hideous and makes the themes pointless. Ugly... ugly... and windows 8. Why? Why? Why ruin a good product?

Access the same tabs from your computer and your Android phone

"Our Mobile and Desktop teams have never had such a good reason to cooperate.

With the release of Opera 29 today, we bring you tab synchronization, which works both in Opera 29 for computers and the latest version of Opera for Android. Now, you can access the same open tabs, whether you are on your laptop or your mobile phone — perfect for those moments when you need to continue reading your favorite website but need to be on the go."

How it works

"To sync your tabs and see them across your devices, select a profile icon next to the address field and create an Opera account or sign into your existing one. Then, you will see your open tabs from other devices directly in the newly refreshed start page, under the Tabs button. From there you’ll find a list of your tabs that are open on other devices, as well as your Speed Dial entries."

Small improvements for serious stuff

"We’ve done research in several countries recently that shows people browse on many devices, but when they browse on computers, it’s for serious stuff — work, research, banking or purchasing stuff online.

To do serious stuff* you need a browser that allows you to be more productive.

This is why Opera 29 is packed with many productivity improvements. Some of them are significant, some of them are small, but they all allow you to do more:

  • You can now customize your keyboard shortcuts by setting any keyboard shortcut combination in the settings page.

  • You don’t necessarily want to listen to audio at full volume when you open a browser session. The new audio indicator will make it much easier for you to find a tab that is blasting sound.

  • Other productivity improvements include more mouse gestures, centered standalone images and integrated history in the start page, among others.

*Of course, to us “serious stuff” includes gaming and entertainment, since we also take having fun seriously."

Get only the message: "WhatsApp Web funktioniert mit Google Chrome 36+, Um WhatsApp Web nutzen zu können, aktualisiere Chrome oder besuche Mozilla Firefox, Safari, oder Opera. AKTUALISIERE GOOGLE CHROME".
Suppose its caused by the chrome version used. In Google Chrome Browser Whatsapp works well.

It starts fine with the --no-experiments flag or with that experiment disabled, but now I miss having a useful ctrl-tab.

Edit: I just realized I can configure ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab to cycle through tabs in recently used order. Awesome! I think that should be the default, but I'm happy as long as it's an option.

I'm finding that sometimes I do the gesture in what I think is an empty space but the new tab actually loads some page or other.

Activated sidebar on opera beta. but cannot install new sidebar extensions because the sidebar extension category isn't displayed. This didn't occur with opera developer 29.

Sidebar extensions are available only for developer strem at this moment because it is being worked on.

Tumblr no longer seems to work properly. It doesn't infinite scroll. Is this something beta 29 is doing?

It seems to be working here.
