Opera 46 features a refined Reborn UI

The Opera browser has recently got a new, high-quality graphical design that is less platform-specific. Codenamed 'Reborn', the new user interface makes Opera look identical on Windows, Linux and macOS. With version 46, the Reborn user interface got a number of improvements.

Opera 46 New Wallpapers

Opera has teamed up with artists Umberto Daina and Feridun Akgüngör to create a set of new background images. They can be found HERE.

Support for animated PNG

Opera now supports animated PNG, or APNG for short. APNG is a file format that works similarly to GIF. The difference is that APNG is smaller and supports both 24-bit images and 8-bit transparency.

VPN improvements

Opera 46 comes with important fixes for the out-of-memory bug when using the built-in VPN feature and for another nasty crash that might appear during startup.

As of this writing, Opera 46 is in the beta stage. It comes with an updated Chromium (59.0.3071.26) and also has enabled expensive background tabs throttling. See the flag: opera://flags/#background-tab-throttling-max-delay-30s.
