One thought on “Opera 48 is out with a lot of improvements”

  1. The only thing holding me from switching to Opera after Firefox drops legacy add-on support is not being able to open downloads instead of choosing a location and saving. I know that opening technically saves files too but the browser handles when to delete them automatically.
