Features and Benefits Highlights

Best end user experience

Opera is a full-featured browser optimized to run fast in constrained environments. With uncompromised standards compliance and rich features, Opera maintains a small code base, making it an ideal for devices aiming for a high quality user experience.

Stability backed by the Opera Core

Opera's Home Media technology runs on the same tried and tested core that runs on over 35 million desktops and mobile phones worldwide.

Content Formatting on the Fly

Opera's Extensible Rendering Architecture (ERA) delicately squeezes content to fit the screen regardless of its dimensions, eliminating the need for horizontal scrolling. Opera’s ERA and TV rendering (TVR) can optimize the Web experience for any size screen.

Spatial Navigation

Opera's spatial navigation makes it easy to navigate on platforms that don't have a mouse. By pressing a directional button on the remote, Opera navigates in the most logical links.

Support for Open Standards and specific TV Requirements

Opera supports Web and industry standards such as DVB-HTML, OCAP, and ATVEF on the Linux operating system; MHP and proprietary middleware on conditional access systems.

Create it once, and use anywhere

Web standard-based content (HTML, XML, JavaScript, CSS, DOM, etc.) and applications greatly reduce creation and maintenance costs, and enable the flexibility to re-use content on multiple device types.

Ready for the Future

In addition to TV-Centric features, Opera provides the best user experience for the Internet with history, cookies, and input method editors.

Trusted partner and solid company

Opera works closely with leading semiconductor, operating system and middleware vendors to rapidly bring new products to market. Traded on the Norwegian stock exchange and deployed to more than 35 million customers, Opera Software is a leader in the Web technology industry.
