Opera 10.5 Beta comes with Private browsing and Windows7 integration

January 20th, 2010 No comments

The latest version of Opera Browser comes with a bundle of nice features. Well private browsing is nothing new as almost all well known browsers are having this feature. But windows7 Integration, i have to tell you, its awesome. Its like this version of opera have integrated to windows7 better than Internet explorer 8.

The interface has been completely re-done with Aero Glass for Windows 7 or Vista users. The menu bar has been rolled up into a single button similar to the way Office 2007 works, with easy access to all common functions all from one place.

Windows 7 users can hover their mouse over the taskbar Opera button to see previews of each of the open tabs, and moving your mouse over a specific tab will enable the Aero Peek effect and show the Opera window with the contents of that particular tab. Well this is how Internet Explorer 8 works right? And thats not all. You can even middle-click on the thumbnail preview to close a tab.

If you have created a shortcut of opera on your taksbar, then you can simply right click it and it gives you options for selecting items from your Speed Dial, opening a new tab, or starting a new private browsing session in a separate tab.

Now this time opera comes with a handful of new and nice feature to be at the third place in the browsers war, with Google Chrome and Safari, but is also far behind the Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox products.

New Feature include:

  • Opera Turbo for fast browsing on slow connections

Opera Turbo uses compression technology that provides significant improvements in browsing speeds over limited-bandwidth connections, for example, when using a crowded Wi-Fi in a cafe or browsing through your mobile phone while commutin

  • New visual tabs and sleek design

Resizable tab bar. Drag the handle underneath the tabs to reveal thumbnails of your open Web pages.

  • Web integration

If you use a Web mail service as your default mail client, you can tell Opera 10 to do the same. Clicking on e-mail addresses or “Send by Mail” in Opera will open the compose page from your Web mail service provider. The same is true with the Feed reader — you can now also add any RSS/atom feed into your favorite online feed reader from within Opera 10.
Also lot more features are updated which were there in the previous versions of Opera.
