Opera 55 is now the most stable version of the Chromium-based and cross-platform web browser, a release that adds yet another layer of improvements and new features, starting with the installation of Google Chrome extensions from the Chrome Web Store, which is now a lot easier thanks to a new “Install Extension’ button that’ll be displayed on top of the page when visiting the extensions web store. Another highlight of the Opera 55 release is the new Settings page, which has been restructured into four sections, including Basic, Privacy and security, Features, and Browser, making it easier for new and existing users alike to configure the web browser. One of the coolest new features of the revamped Settings page is that it now supports dark themes too.
