There have also been a few minor tweaks to the catalog, some of them are:

- Developer mode: You can now drag a config.xml files into Opera 11 beta to access Developer Mode in the Extension Manager. This makes it easy to preview and debug your extension.
- Extensions on secure sites: Up until now extensions have been limited to non-secure sites, but with Opera 11 beta your extensions will also work on encrypted connections (https). If you don't want your extensions to run on certain websites you can use private tabs or you can set which extensions that will run on secure sites in the extension manager.
