Web Browsers - Opera

Opera started out as a research project in Norway's telecom company, Telenor, in 1994, and branched out into an independent development company named Opera Software ASA in 1995.

Opera Software ASA develops the Opera Web browser and is an industry leader in the development of Web browsers for the desktop and device markets.

Opera's vision is to deliver the best Internet experience on any device. Opera's key business objective is to earn global leadership in the market for PC/desktops and embedded products. Opera's main business strategy is to provide a browser that operates across devices, platforms and operating systems, and can deliver a faster, more stable and flexible Internet experience than its competitors.

The Opera browser (known as "the third browser", after Internet Explorer and Netscape) has received international acclaim from end-users and the industry press for being faster, smaller and more standards-compliant than other browsers.

Opera is now entirely free and is currently in version 8.54
