Will there be a native ARM version of Opera for the new M1 and subsequent Apple Macs? Chrome, Brave and Firefox already have native M1 apps which score significantly higher in web browsing benchmarks. From some testing 'The M1 Chrome scored 210 in the Speedometer 2.0. The M1 version of Opera launched in April 2021 and Opera claims it “runs 2 times faster compared to the previous version of our browser.” You can also set custom shortcuts for Opera’s “Flow” feature, which is essentially end-to-end encrypted chat with Opera on your other devices for quickly sending pictures, links, and files. Google has shipped a version of Chrome with M1 support. I used to use Miscrosoft Edge, which has a built-in PDF editing feature. Now I'm fully moving to opera and using it as my default browser, and the PDF viewing is so slow and laggy! Opera is one of the fastest browsers I've ever used, and the best, but I really need the PDF feature without it being so slow. Are any of you experiencing this? Does Opera have the plan to support Apple silicon (M1 Tip)Mac? If Opera support Apple silicon Mac, When will it be supported? 2 Replies Last reply.

WARNING: These are pre-release builds. Please use them only on properly backed up computers. They contain the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes and data loss situations. In fact, they may not work at all.
Archived Opera versions

User agent string/ID
The user agent string for Chromium-based versions of Opera resembles the Chrome string with an additional browser signature:
OPR/[version major].[version minor].[build].[patch] (edition)
This signifies the name of the browser (OPR) followed by a series of numbers denoting the build.
An edition may be included in the string, if the build is from the developer or beta pre-release streams, or if the build has been custom-made for an Opera partner. For example, a developer channel release of Opera’s partner build with Yandex may have a signature that looks like:
OPR/25.0.1614.18 (Edition developer-Yx)
Can your pet?another unblocked game site.
The full user agent string looks similar to this:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.87 Safari/537.36 OPR/37.0.2178.31 (Edition beta)
This string will vary depending on your operating system and the build number you are using. Broken down, these objects mean:
- Mozilla/[version]
- Signifies the browser is Mozilla compatible.
- (Operating system)
- Signifies which platform and version of operating system the browser is running on.
- AppleWebKit/[build]
- Signifies the browser is WebKit compatible.
- (Layout engine)

- Chrome/[version, build, and patch]
- Signifies the browser is Chrome compatible.
- Safari/[build]

- OPR/[version, build, and patch]

Opera is out today with the latest update for its Mac browser. The new release brings official Apple Silicon support and the company says users can expect performance that’s two times faster on M1 Macs.
Last week Opera launched a modern redesign for its minimalist iPhone and iPad browser. Today the company has made its new Opera for Mac update available with the headline feature being Apple Silicon support.
Opera now natively supports the newest line of Apple M1 processors. With the transition from Intel to Apple Silicon chips, Apple is able to gain more control over the performance of Mac hardware and the software that runs on macOS.
Like Apple, Opera’s goal is to make your online experience as smooth as possible. With this latest release, Opera runs 2 times faster compared to the previous version of our browser. This means faster access to your favorite websites, and quicker transition to Opera’s built-in features like WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter and Instagram – all neatly packed into the sidebar.
Along with the Apple Silicon optimization, the new Opera for Mac features the ability to set custom keyboard shortcuts for its Flow feature (comparable to Apple’s Continuity/Handoff) and more.
Speaking of speed, Opera now lets you set your own keyboard shortcuts to quickly access the Flow feature, which connects your computer browser with Opera on iOS and Android. This connection is an end-to-end encrypted chat with all your devices for sending notes, images, links, files – all the things you don’t want to miss. You can also now create shortcuts to Opera’s built-in Crypto Wallet, as well as the Player feature – a gateway to all your favorites on Apple Music, Spotify and YouTube Music.
The latest build of Opera for Mac should be available now from Opera’s website.
