Opera Neon interface is very minimal and clean. It doesn’t contain any menu bar, status bar or tab bar. When you open the browser, it provides a search bar to type the website URL or desired search keywords. Once it starts opening the web page, it shows a tab bar on the right-side which contains small thumbnail of the opened web pages which are called bubble tabs.

It uses the current Desktop wallpaper as the background which looks nice and provides transparency like effect to the browser.

On the left-side, Opera Neon shows a small vertical toolbar which contains new tab, media player, snapshot tool, gallery, downloads and main menu buttons.

You can open Opera Neon settings and other options by clicking on the hamburger icon present at the bottom of left-sidebar. It’ll open the main menu bar which provides access to important menus such as Settings, Task Manager, Developer Tools, Downloads, History, New Window, Zoom, Help, etc.

  2. Not at this time, because opera said it was a fun project and won’t be developing it further.

  3. Offline Installer for Windows:

    download1.operacdn.com/.private/Opera_Moment_Developer_1.0.2459.0_Autoupdate.exe

  4. Does this version of Opera contains the built-in adblocker as the original version has?

  5. Will not install. I’ve tried about a dozen times from different websites. Says I do not have sufficient permissions.

  6. Yeah, right, Hidden.
    chrome://flags is not a secret and logically, opera://flags works the same way. However this is a plugin for opera to list all the URLS just like chrome://about does in chrome without any plugin
