Opera's latest release aims to make web browsers exciting again

It's been a real long time since anyone's felt any excitement towards web browsers. There was a time when companies would try and ply on as many features and functionality as possible but then, thanks to Google Chrome, it was all about paring it down and offering the fastest performance.

Opera's latest release, Opera 45 brings a chock-full of new features taken from its project Neon browser and also adds direct access to Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and Telegram right on a sidebar. The newest Opera browser also has built-in ad blockers and as well as a battery saver mode for extended life on notebooks. I've been playing around with the browser and find it to be elegant, sprightly and a great option for Windows 10.
