The plugin for Opera is an add-on that extends the browser’s ability to play various multimedia formats, including playing streaming video files, flash animations, playing * .ogg, * .wav and * .flv formats and much more.
What is it?
Each browser already has a certain set of standard plugins, which
Automatically downloaded from the Internet with the program. A complete list of installed add-ons can be viewed thanks to the Plugins team. We will talk about how to enable plugins in Opera and download additional ones. Add-ons are usually distributed free of charge.
The downloaded plugin for "Opera" does not require registration required for many programs, it is configured automatically, and the most interesting is that numerous add-ons increase the speed of loading Internet pages, economically treating traffic. Note that not all resources offering to download add-ons are equally honest with respect to users.
There are many sources where you will find high-quality and specific add-ons, for example, the plug-in for Opera on VK. But here, too, there is a certain number of scammers. For example, instead of getting a plug-in for downloading music for Opera, you will get a virus, or you will have to pay money for a paid SMS message that you will be asked to send to short numbers to receive a unique code. Be careful and download extensions only from the most reliable sources.

Search Features
Add-on for the browser "Opera", which contains the best of search engines
Russia and the whole world (search for clips, music, pictures, essays). This solution can significantly increase the efficiency of searching for materials on the Internet, while reducing the amount of traffic consumed.
Translation of words in "Opera"
There was a small addition for the Opera browser, which allows you to quickly get an accurate translation of the necessary word or even sentences, and almost all languages of the world are supported.
Add-ons Update
Already from the browser version "Opera 11.10", the main add-ons, such as "Adobe Flash", are automatically updated, which significantly increases the level of browser security. If you are using previous versions, update the add-ons manually. To do this, first download their new versions, usually * .dll files. After, go to the plugins folder, delete the old files and insert the new ones. We restart the browser, and the new add-ons are ready for full work.
Golden middle
Please note that each subsequent installed plug-in, as a rule, increases the launch time of the browser by an average of 10 percent. For this reason, it is advisable to remove extensions that you are not using.
A simple but effective method: extensions that are not currently used can simply be placed in a folder other than the system folder. If necessary, the user can always return the contents back.
Why "Opera AC" is useful
The Opera browser is incredibly easy to use, but the user community has developed special versions of it that have a list of additional features. For example, "Opera AC" received a number of built-in features that allow you to block ads. In addition, this edition of the browser has many useful features that make working with the network very comfortable. After installation, the system folder with the browser can be written to any removable disk or other computer, and Opera will start up fine.
Subtleties settings
"Opera" has very rich customization options. For example, if you
often use proxy servers, take out the button to enable them for convenience in the address bar. To this end, open the express panel, right-click in an empty area of your page, select "Appearance". Go to the tab called “Buttons”, then “My Buttons”. Find the proxy server enable button and drag it to the address bar. Click OK. You can also install other necessary interface elements.
So we looked at the issue of plugins, paying attention to the most useful additions. Every day, developers create hundreds of such programs, trying to diversify and simplify the life of an Internet user. It is impossible to describe each add-on, it is better to just follow the latest in the browser itself. If you use third-party resources, we strongly recommend checking their quality. "Opera" calls itself an alternative browser, and its audience is small compared to others. Perhaps this is why all the little things that can bring convenience to users are so important for browser developers. Among them are plugins that make the browser even more functional.
