Opera Software has just released the new stable version of Opera 41, the popular cross-platform browser for all supported desktop operating systems.
Probably the biggest news feature of Opera 41 is the improvement of the launch time of the new browser. According to Opera Software, with the new Opera 41 you'll notice an improvement of up to 86% in launch times, compared to previous versions.
Improvement in boot time decreases depending on tabs that should be restored during app opening. So for approximately 10 tabs, the app start time is still above 50% according to Opera Software.
This is achieved with a new priority mode that focuses on loading tabs and being active tab for the first time at startup. All other open tabs in Opera 41 load with lower priority, the company says.
Apart from the above, Opera 41 also brings two additional improvements. First, the new version promises better savings batteryς όταν κάνετε video conferencing (τηλεδιάσκεψη) μέσω του WebRTC δίνοντας προτεραιότητα σε codecs που είναι συμβατά με το hardware όταν είναι διαθέσιμα.
