You can play games, get organized, follow your favorite sports teams and more. Widget developers can create widgets using open and common Web standards including JavaScript, CSS, HTML and SVG and technologies like AJAX. For more information about using or making widgets, visit widgets.opera.com. Opera strives to ensure you can be as efficient online as you want. Whether by pioneering the earliest form of tabbed browsing in the first Opera browser or allowing you to add your favorite search engines to the search bar in Opera, we give you the tools to stay organized online. Features such as saved sessions, the trash can, notes and the ability to start exactly where you last closed Opera keep you productive. strengthening Opera's pop-up blocker to weed out annoying or malicious pop-ups, Opera gives you new options for safe browsing. In Opera you can express your style with a mouse click. You can change the look and feel of your browser by downloading new skins or altering buttons to suit the way you want to use Opera.
