<p>Go to the Opera, and Experience the Perfect... Browser?</p>
<p>Opera Software Announces the Release of Opera 3.50, the Improved Browser</p>
<p>December 1, 1998 (INB) -- Opera is a name associated with music and culture<br />
but also reflecting perfection and quality. With the release of Opera 3.50<br />
-- Opera Software A/S (<a href="http://www.operasoftware.com" title="http://www.operasoftware.com">http://www.operasoftware.com</a>) comes closer than ever<br />
to meeting these standards. It's size, speed, stability and adherence to<br />
the standards of the industry combine to make Opera 3.50 the new browser of<br />
choice. It is a simple yet distinctive brand name in a world of<br />
'commoditized' names associated with Internet navigation or exploration.</p>
<p>Opera Software was recently recognized with PC World's 'World Class' Award<br />
in the category 'Most Promising Web Newcomer'(see details at<br />
<a href="http://www.operasoftware.com/news.html" title="http://www.operasoftware.com/news.html">http://www.operasoftware.com/news.html</a>). Opera 3.50 is an advanced<br />
Internet/Intranet/Extranet Browser; it is small, fast, user-friendly and<br />
has low minimum resource requirements. "Opera 3.50 is an important<br />
milestone for our company. It not only shows the superb skill and<br />
dedication of our programmers, but that we are the leading force in<br />
Internet security, standards adherence and customization options, while<br />
keeping the program size to an absolute minimum," says Business Director<br />
and co-founder, Jon von Tetzchner.</p>
<p>In addition, these unique and useful features make Opera 3.50 the browser<br />
of choice for many thousands of users:</p>
<p>o Opera 3.50 now features the most complete CSS1 implementation of all<br />
commercial web browsers. This is enhanced by many customization options for<br />
both users and website designers.</p>
<p>o With Opera 3.50, the most compliant and most recent version of Java is<br />
now supported! As a stepping stone to internal Java support, access to<br />
applets has been made possible by supporting the plugin from Sun<br />
Microsystems.</p>
<p>o Opera 3.50 once again leads the way in Internet security. It is the only<br />
browser to support Transport Layer Security (TLS), the successor of the<br />
Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Opera integrates the latest 128 bit encryption<br />
protocols -- without requiring additional modules.</p>
<p>o Support has also been added for File Upload, which is required for many<br />
web-based e-mail services. An Offline Browser Mode, Name Completion, a<br />
Turbo Mode, the ability to turn off tables, a new Download Window with<br />
multiple functionality, and even wider plugin support are but a few of the<br />
many new characteristics of Opera 3.50.</p>
<p>o Opera 3.50 also allows users to implement their own toolbar icon designs,<br />
allowing for fully individualized versions according to their preferences.</p>
<p>In addition to the launch of the improved browser, Opera is extending its<br />
services to the Internet community by offering free web-based e-mail. Users<br />
can acquire their own OperaMail e-mail address and use this account with<br />
the Opera browser (or any other modern web browser). When using an<br />
OperaMail account, e-mail becomes accessible from all Internet connected<br />
devices without the need for a separate e-mail application. This service<br />
will also greatly contribute to spreading the news of Opera around the<br />
world while at the same time adding convenience and ultimate flexibility to<br />
the user. Acquire an account at (<a href="http://www.operamail.com" title="http://www.operamail.com">http://www.operamail.com</a>).</p>
<p>Opera is also becoming involved in building a web community with the launch<br />
of PeopleLink, an Instant Messaging application and service<br />
(<a href="http://www.peoplelink.com/comnet/operasoftware/" title="http://www.peoplelink.com/comnet/operasoftware/">http://www.peoplelink.com/comnet/operasoftware/</a>). By providing a special<br />
Opera version of this service to its users, it will further enhance the<br />
quality of interaction between users and the company, and enable users to<br />
utilize this service with friends and family, colleagues and customers.<br />
Instant Messaging has become very popular because it provides safe,<br />
real-time communications.</p>
