Opera 51: Ad blocker and Bookmark Improvements

Today, the team behind the Opera browser released a new developer version of their product. Opera 51.0.2830.0 is now available for download. It features a number of changes made to the built-in ad blocker feature and the bookmarks manager.

The Imported bookmarks folder

The Bookmarks manager now comes with a new folder, "Imported bookmarks". It is available in the expandable menu of the bookmarks manager. There, you will find all bookmarks imported from other web browsers.

Ad blocker improvements

Performance of the built-in ad blocker feature was significantly improved. With string matching algorithm improvements, the tests have shown up to 13% average performance increase for the built-in anti-Bitcoin mining tool.

Allow all sites to use Flash

The released build now includes a new option to allow Flash to run on all sites without extra requests. Out of the box, Opera shows a confirmation to run Flash. This behavior now can be disabled in Settings (Preferences on macOS) > Websites > Flash.

Other changes

  • Opera for Mac now supports AppleScript, allowing you to create snippets for Alfred or automate your workflow easily.
  • HiDPI improvments
  • Chromium version 64.0.3282.15.
