Since its launch in September, Opera's iPad-centric browser Coast has struggled to make a visible space in user's mind. In an attempt to breathe some life into the app, the company today pushed a new update that introduces a number of new customization, navigation and media features that set it apart from Apple and Google's browser offerings.
In version 2.0, Opera has removed the familiar forward and back buttons in favor of the gestures it supported at launch. The app now lets you set wallpapers using images from your Photo Roll and gives you the option to select which apps to open PDF files in, whether it be iBooks, Dropbox or another PDF-compatible app. Coast now also features its own media player, which is capable of handling music playback from the iPad lockscreen. The new update is said to make browsing speedier and more secure than before -- very helpful if you need to make a quick escape from some of the nastier corners of the internet.
Head to the Appstore to download the updated version of Coast by Opera web browser.
