A new major release of Opera includes some potentially useful features. The release notes for Opera 42.0.2393.85 provide the details:

• currency converter: highlight an amount of money on any web page to see the amount in your local currency
• faster startup times
• improvements to the built-in newsreader

Opera remains a solid alternative to the big three browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome), although it still doesn’t have a proper bookmark sidebar.
