Opera, Portable Edition 29.0.1795.60 has been released. Opera, Portable Edition is a lightweight, customizable browser designed for speed. It's the popular Opera™ web browser packaged as a portable app, so you can take your browser with you and it's in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Platform. Upgrading from 12.x to 2x.x will automatically create a legacy install alongside your updated Opera release. It's freeware for personal and business use.

Opera, Portable Edition is packaged with permission from Opera Software ASA. Opera™ is a trademark of Opera Software ASA.

Update automatically or install from the portable app store in the PortableApps.com Platform.

Upgrading from 12.x to 2x.x

As you upgrade an existing Opera, Portable Edition 12.x install to the new Opera release, it will automatically create an OperaPortableLegacy12 folder with your current install of Opera as a backup alongside your OperaPortable folder. You can continue using Opera Legacy 12.x if you'd like. It'll even be automatically updated by the platform if the publisher releases another version. Most of your bookmarks should be preserved. Your passwords and cookies may or may not be. You should log into Opera to sync your passwords going forward to ensure they are not lost as you move PCs.

Features

Hi,

Navigating from here to the "Opera, Portable Edition homepage" and clicking on the "Download" button, results in a page with just one word: "Forbidden".

Is it because I am through a proxy? No other portable app download behaved like this, though.

Thanks for all the wonderful tools!

Our download server checks for referrer to ensure you're visiting from here or our platform or have a blank referrer for privacy. But if the referrer doesn't match (another site hot-linking, or a proxy inserting a fake referrer), you get redirected to a page explaining what happened. At no point is it set to throw a "403 forbidden" in the process. I'd wager your corporate/university proxy has our download server blocked. Apps like Opera, Balabolka, the Wise and IObit utilities and some other freeware are served directly from our download server. Try one of them to see if it's the whole server. Most of the apps you use are probably our open source apps, most of which are served from SourceForge.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
