An outdated version of the Opera browser may be needed, for example, to install on a computer with low RAM. Opera Software developers have taken into account this circumstance: from the official website of this company, you can download almost all old versions of the browser.
Instructions
Step 1
If the browser version you wish to download is not the latest, but relatively new, go to the next page:
www.opera.com/browser/download/?custom=yes
Step 2
Select the operating system you are using, then the browser version, and then, if necessary, the package format and server location. Download the installation file to your hard drive and then run it (on Linux - unpack and run the install.sh script) and install the program as usual. Please note that after reinstallation, settings, bookmarks and cache may not be saved. Therefore, make a backup copy of the installation file of the current version of Opera, as well as the /home/username/.opera/ folder (on Linux) or c: / Program% 20Files / Opera / (on Windows).
Step 3
To download an older browser, go to another page:
arc.opera.com/pub/opera/
Step 4
On this page, find a folder whose name matches the name of the operating system you are using, and in it - a folder whose name matches the version number (without a period). Go to it and download the installation file. Note that Linux versions are available for different processor architectures: look for a file that names a 386, 486, 586, or 686 processor. Also note that very old browser versions show ads or even shareware and require registration. In the latter case, download the newer version.
Step 5
To download the outdated version of the Opera Mini browser (up to 3.2), go to the following page:
m.opera.com/?act=opts
Such a browser will have relatively few features, but it will be possible to use it on a phone that does not have enough RAM to run the modern version of Opera Mini.
Step 6
Some sites will display incorrectly in outdated versions of the Opera browser or will not display at all. If you are not going to leave messages on the site, watch videos, etc., and just want to read the texts of the pages located on it, use the following service:
skweezer.com/
To some extent, it will replace the Opera Turbo service, which is not supported in older versions of the browser. If the text is displayed incorrectly, switch the encoding through the "View" menu (it is usually impossible to make such switching on the phone).
