Opera has launched<\/strong><\/a> the latest version of its browser, Opera 64, which it claims offers users page loading speeds that are 76% faster than before.<\/p>\n

The company said that these speed improvements are due to the efficiency of its privacy features, which include a new tracker blocker and an improved ad-blocker.<\/p>\n

According to Opera, the tracker blocker alone speeds up web browsing by almost 20%.<\/p>\n

Opera said that the tracker blocker relies on the EasyPrivacy Tracking Protection List, and once it is turned on, it works similarly to Opera’s native ad-blocker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe consider ad blocker and tracker blocker to be basic privacy features, which can be kept on at all times,” said Opera.<\/p>\n

“But that\u2019s not all you get from Opera: our browser also has plenty of extended privacy features which come in handy when you feel the need to increase the privacy of your browsing even further.\u201d<\/p>\n

Opera 64 also brings with it a series of other new features, although most of these are relatively minor, and some are already available in other browsers.<\/p>\n

These include a new tool that makes taking screenshots easier, support for saving a website as a PDF file, as well as a meme creation tool.<\/p>\n
