Spread the love

Opera has released a beta release of version 12 of its web browser of the same name. Opera has browsers for all major computing platforms and for a variety of mobile operating systems. 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 chat via irc. The most important improvements that will be implemented in version 12 are listed in detail below.

Enhanced performance and stability

Get online in record time with Opera. In our latest version, you’ll enjoy:

  • Quick startup with a smarter tab-loading sequence
  • Faster page loading, even for secure webpages
  • 64-bit support for Windows and Mac
  • Smooth and stable browsing, thanks to support for out-of-process plugins

New themes

new, lightweight themes make it easier for you to customize the browser. Install or change themes at the click of a button, without restarting the browser. Designers can also create new themes.

Redesigned security badges

Now, it is easier to see privacy and security settings on websites with color-coded security badges in the address bar.

Camera and extensions APIs

Now, there is support for video cameras through device APIs, enabling cool new web services such as photo applications and face tracking. Opera will also offer a more robust and powerful API for windows and tabs, allowing extensions to interact with tabs, create groups of tabs, or manage windows.

Right-to-left scripts support

Opera now speaks four new languages. Now that the UI supports right-to-left languages, users of Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and Hebrew can enjoy Opera in their preferred language.

Experimental hardware acceleration WebGL support

Opera will now be able to use your computer’s graphics card for extra processing power in the form of hardware acceleration. This supercharged boost makes intensive web applications and games run even better. Learn how to enable WebGL and hardware acceleration.

New web standards support

Along with these all new exciting features, we are also launching support for WebRTC (Camera), HTML5 Drag and Drop, CSS3 Animations and Transitions, Do-Not-Track, CSS Generated Content for Paged Media. This will provide richer functionality to web developers and an improved experience for end users. See a complete list of new standards supported.

Discontinuing Opera Unite, Opera Widgets and Voice

With this release, Opera Unite and Opera Widgets are removed by default for new users. We encourage all developers to move their solutions to the extension platform. Support for the legacy X+V standard and the UI voice commands is also removed, as the voice-detection library is no longer supported by the third-party vendor.
