Plug-ins are software
programs that extend the capabilities of Opera in specific ways. A plug-in
could give you the ability to play audio samples or view video movies.
Software companies are developing plug-ins at a phenomenal rate, so check
back here frequently to download the latest programs. Opera supports most
Netscape Compatible Plug-ins. If you are a developer and would like information
on developing a plug-in for Opera please see our Developer's
Corner.
Have you found some useful plug-ins that are compatible with Opera and
you'd like to share? Please mail plug_in@operasoftware.com.
