Once signed into Opera, open tabs from your other devices will display under the Tabs button in the browser’s Start Page.

In addition to tab synchronization, Opera 29 includes some productivity improvements. In the blog post describing the new features in Opera 29, Zhenis, the Product Manager of Desktop Products at Opera, states:

  • You can now customize your keyboard shortcuts by setting any keyboard shortcut combination in the settings page.
  • You don’t necessarily want to listen to audio at full volume when you open a browser session. The new audio indicator will make it much easier for you to find a tab that is blasting sound.
  • Other productivity improvements include more mouse gestures, centered standalone images and integrated history in the start page, among others.

If you already have Opera installed, check for updates manually from the Opera button. An Update notification dialog may also display when you next launch the application. If you want to install the update, click Yes.
