Opera is quickly becoming a great browser for a lot of people, but if you don't own one yet, you should know that it's going to cost you. Opera has made a great effort at getting its pricing as low as possible, but it doesn't come cheap. Opera comes with a free version, but it only runs on Windows platforms, which means that if you don't have one of the most popular platforms available, you're missing out on a lot of features.
Opera 36, however, is definitely no exception, as it offers a number of new design improvements to boost its stability, better integration with Windows, a number of smart design changes, and an easier to use browsing experience. The new Opera 38 has been especially well received, as it manages to maintain its interface and features while improving its speed. Everything else remains just as elegant, efficient, intuitive, high-performing, and easy-to-use as ever. Opera for Mac is also going to be coming soon, so if you already have one of those systems, now's the time to upgrade. You're also able to get it from the website, although you'll be asked for your username and password before you can download the software.
You're probably not going to like it, but Opera is also offering a free 30-day trial for users who want to try out the new version of their browser before they decide whether to purchase it. The trial runs for just a few days, and you'll only pay the one-time fee if you're still really interested in purchasing the software. You should check out the trial period, because that's the only way to make sure that the new version of Opera works for you. This will give you enough time to evaluate the features and feel confident about using it, even if it takes a few tries to get used to the new interface and other changes.
