The browser offers tabs, can be controlled with mouse gestures, has an embedded download manager and offers protection against phishing and malware. Not only can you surf with Opera, but you can also send e-mails; there is a built-in bittorrent client and you can chat via irc or with Opera’s own developed social network Unite. The comprehensive list of changes since version 11.52 can here are being found. Here are the main improvements that version 11.60 brings:
code name
- Opera 11.60 beta uses “Tunny” as its code name.
Opera Presto 2.10 rendering engine
- Opera 11.60 beta uses the latest version of the Opera Presto 2.10 rendering engine.
Opera Mail
The user interface for Opera Mail has been redesigned.
- Two-lined message list: Opera Mail will now default to “list on the left, message on the right”, with the newest message on top, and always showing message threads.
- Mail grouping: Opera will automatically group messages by date. You can also group them by unread status, by pinned status, or not at all.
- Cleaned up look: The mail toolbars are simplified, and icons have been redesigned.
- New settings dialogs: The “View” dropdown menu with all its sub-menus has been replaced by an overlay dialog that can be reached by clicking the “wrench” button.
- Pinning: You can now “pin” messages with one click in the message list or in the message headers, to mark a message for attention. This pinning is mapped to the IMAP \Flagged feature, so it corresponds to “starring” and “flagging” in other IMAP clients, and with Gmail’s starred messages.

Featherweight address field with star menu
The star menu in the address field allows you to quickly bookmark a page or to create a Speed Dial entry.
