The first beta build of Opera 48 comes with 14 units of measurements and 16 time zones available in the conversion tool. A simple highlight of the value will convert the value from metric to its imperial equivalent, or vice-versa. With the time zone converter, highlighting a faraway time zone will adjust it to your local time (or your system’s operating time zone). it also supports 32 currencies.

The unit converter can now recognize an array of Unicode subscript and superscript forms, such ½ ft, 1⁄4 mi or even ³⁄₄₇ gal.
