Opera Software has unveiled a new concept browser called Opera Neon. Opera Neon is a concept web browser that “envisions the future of web browsers in a similar way to the way concept cars envision the future,” according to Opera Software.
The browser has been developed from scratch, and you will notice from the start that it does things differently than other browsers. Note that it is powered by the open source Chromium.
The original Opera Neon browser is only available for Windows and Mac devices and cannot be installed and run as a portable version, at least for now.
The interface (UI) used by Opera Neon is different from that of other browsers. There is no visible address bar or tab bar, for example, when you first run the application.
The screen that opens uses your device's desktop background as its background, displays a search field at the top, and below that a few icons that can connect you to popular Internet destinations. You can drag any open tab to add it to your favorites, and much, much more.
The only interface elements are on the left side in a kind of panel. The menu is in the lower left corner, and with the five icons there you can do the following:
Reopen the home screen to load a new address or one of your favorites.
There's a Player, a media player.
A Snap, for screenshots.
There's the Gallery, which contains your screenshots.
And of course there's Downloads, with your download history.
If you want a test drive of the new concept browser you can download it from the link below:
