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. This revision fixes an issue where Opera 29 would store settings on the local machine on some PCs. It was caused by a bug in Opera's base portable mode installer. Our apologies for the issue. 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.

Extra Testing
Opera has now been flagged for extra testing in each release. This is due to a bug in the Opera 29 base app installer where it won't configure it for portable mode even if you've selected portable mode if you already have Opera installed on your local system. And the fact that Opera 26 broke the ability to upgrade from Opera 12 although Opera 27 fixed it again. Due to these recurring bugs with the base app, we've changed the build procedure for Opera Portable and will be performing some extra testing on each release to ensure it continues to work properly. Our apologies for the few day issue with Opera 29 saving files locally on some PCs.
Will this version keep the
Will this version keep the information from the previous release (Few days ago)?
Depends
If the previous version was your first install, then it was operating in local mode as if Opera was installed locally. Updating to this will not transfer your profile from local to portable.
This release will work with your Opera Portable profile from any released within the last several years, though.
Well,
Well,
It wasn't my first.
I updated previous portable install yet what happened is all my settings were gone and I had to set everything again.
Will it happen with this?
Settings Unaffected
Your settings from Opera 28 and earlier were unaffected by the first Opera 29 release. It was just misconfigured to look at the local Opera profile instead of the portable one. So, your settings for Opera Portable were still sitting in OperaPortable\Data, but it wasn't using them. Upgrading to the Opera 29 Rev 2 fixes that issue and properly uses the portable settings.
MD5 hash for version 29 is a web link
i am getting a link to https://portableapps.com/apps/development/portableapps.com_launcher when I mouse over the md5 hash and am unable to copy it to copy it into my download manager.
Fixed
It was an unclosed link tag from the source line above.
Pro tip: The PortableApps.com Platform automatically uses MD5 sums to ensure proper downloads via the app store and updater.
