Opera browser on iOS has received a new tab management feature that offers the power of desktop-style tab organization to mobile. The update includes the addition of new tab layouts, tab grouping, and tab search, along with additional updates like customization of the menu options and easier access to Aria AI.
Sometimes, too many open tabs can overwhelm us, and Opera, like other browsers, has tried to solve the problem on mobile devices. This innovation tackles one of iOS users’ biggest frustrations—too many unruly tabs—making Opera One, the most advanced mobile browser for iOS, surpassing Safari and Chrome in managing multiple tabs, says the company.
Opera for iOS New Update:
New Tab Management System
- New Tab Layouts—The new tab layout offers users two distinct Grid and List views. The grid layout offers a balanced organization, allowing users to see several tabs at once with clear visual previews. The list layout optimizes for quantity, providing a compact view that helps in viewing larger quantity of tabs easily.
- Tab grouping is another powerful feature that’s added to efficiently manage tasks and planning. To create a group, users can long-press a tab, select the desired tabs, and add them to a new, named, and color-coded group.
- There’s also a tab search functionality that allows users to quickly find any tab by typing a keyword related to its title or URL.
- All these features were put into an intuitive UI with easy swiping. Users can now swipe between icons at the top of the screen to quickly access regular tabs, private mode, and synced tabs from other devices.
Other Updates
- With this update, Opera is also letting users configure the browser menu so they can organize it and choose which options to show up in it.
- Opera’s built-in browser AI, Aria, now has a new, more convenient home in the middle of the bottom bar. This browser AI selects the best LLM for a user’s query and offers AI-powered answers instantly.
Availability
These new updates are available to all iOS users. Users can install the Opera browser or update to the latest version via the App Store.
