It was commercial software for its first ten years and had its own proprietary layout engine, Presto. Opera was initially released on 10 April 1995, making it one of the oldest desktop web browsers still actively developed. Opera users also have access to Opera News, a news app based on an AI platform. There are also mobile versions called Opera Mobile and Opera Mini. Opera is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS (Safari WebKit engine). The current edition of the browser is based on Chromium.
