Opera today launched the latest version of their web browser, Opera 11.50. The browser bears resemblances to Google Chrome and it looks like Opera has joined the bandwagon of making browsers which are minimalistic in design. Incidentally, Opera calls the new interface ‘Featherweight’.The refurbished interface features only four buttons alongside the address bar. Opera 11.50 has Speed Dial extensions or widgets which gives you a customizable dashboard for your favourite websites. The browser also receives web app support with version 11.50 as seen on the Google Chrome browser.
According to Jan Standal, Opera's vice president of desktop software, "Even though Opera is extremely fast -- fast at opening and closing tabs, opening windows -- we got reports from users that they felt Opera was slower than other browsers," said Standal. "We wanted to make the browser feel lighter and faster, but keep its functionality."
Indian users may be glad to find Punjabi and Bengali language interface support added with Opera 11.50. The newest edition, Opera 11.5 RC5, was issued today, and can be downloaded from the company's website for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
