title: Selenium WebDriver and Opera Driver
body: <p>I would like to run my Selenium WebDriver tests on Opera, but when I had a look at the Opera driver <a href="http://docs.seleniumhq.org/about/platforms.jsp" rel="noreferrer">at Selenium HQ</a> and <a href="https://github.com/operasoftware/operadriver" rel="noreferrer">GitHub page</a>, it says:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>Opera Driver requires Opera 12.x and older versions</p>
  <p>Note that OperaDriver is only compatible with Presto-based Operas up until 12.16. Blink-based Operas (15 and onwards) are not supported.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>Opera is now up to version 22.0, so far beyond the maximum supported version of 12. So, my questions are: -</p>
  <ol>
  <li>If there is no Opera driver for Selenium, then how does one automate Opera tests?</li>
  <li>It seems strange to stop at version 12, even taking the underlying technology change into account. Is Opera support waning or is it that Selenium WebDriver is no longer the best tool?</li>
  </ol>
