What is Opera for Mac Opera is a fast and secure browser trusted by millions of users. With the intuitive interface, Speed Dial and visual bookmarks for organizing favorite sites, news feature with fresh, relevant content, speed-boosting Opera Turbo mode and more handy features, Opera has everything you need to do more on the web. Opera: Fairly Current. I’ve always liked Opera, but never enough to use it regularly. Until now, the most recent version I had on my Mac was 12.16, which is positively ancient. Opera is up to version 30 these days. Since version 26, Opera has required OS X 10.7 Lion or later. Download the Opera browser for computer, phone, and tablet.

It's a slick interface that adopts a contemporary, minimalist appearance, in conjunction together with stacks of tools to make surfing more pleasing. Opera 10.6 was about 50% faster and is the last version to support PowerPC Macs. With version 11.0 (December 2010), Opera required an Intel-based Mac, and Opera 12.0 (June 2012) no.
Today’s release of Opera developer 25 includes some interesting changes for Mac. We’ve made the move to 64-bit and have also enabled H.264 video support. We would also like to ask for more feedback on our new Speed Dial, something many of you picked up on in our previous developer release.
As always, a complete list of changes can be found in the changelog.

We have recently begun experimenting with a fresh, new look for Speed Dial. Please try it out and let us know what you think.
The right time to switch Mac to 64-bit
We held off on switching Mac to 64-bit until the benefits outweighed the downsides. Today, we think we have reached that milestone. Some of the changes that allowed us to make the switch include:
- New 64-bit only API possibilities, with the upcoming release of Yosemite
- Speed and security improvements – find out more on the Chromium blog
- H.264 video now enabled on Mac, to support the transition from plug-ins
- No new bugs (we hope!) 🙂
Notes
Opera Mac 10.6
- H.264 video support is only available for Opera users on Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks) and above (WebM video continues to work for all users)
- Like Apple themselves, we no longer support Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
If you do run an older version of Mac OS, remember that OS X 10.9 is a free upgrade for users currently on 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8.
