Stack it like it's hot

Tabs was first introduced with Opera 1.0 back in 1995. To try Tab stacking simply drag one tab over another and release it. This will create your very own stack. Check out our tutorial video:

Mouse Gestures gone visual

Most people love mouse gestures. With the flick of a wrist, you can navigate back and forwards, open new pages, close tabs and so much more. In Opera 11, we have made it easier to discover and master mouse gestures.You might get disappointed when your favorite gestures do not work in other browsers. Access the full list of mouse gestures and master the ancient art of navigating websites with your mouse...

Extend your Opera features

Opera has a rich and varied feature set, but we can't anticipate everything. So, we've introduced extensions to help you personalize Opera even more. To launch extensions, simply click the Opera Menu and select Extensions. Then, click “Get Extensions”. Now, you can browse our extensions and choose between our vast catalog of extensions to your Opera browser!

It isn't one of those builds that the final RC IS the final build, is it?

My mouse gestures aren't working properly.
If I hold and wait for the visual guide, they work.
If I do them quickly as before (Opera 10), they don't work.
Anyone else having this problem?
Sami Serola16. December 2010, 12:10
I have no problems with mouse gestures on Windows XP. Maybe restarting the PC helps. Tried that already?

Thanks for letting us know! I'll forward it!

Phil, gestures work differently in 11, the back-end has changed with the introduction of the visual guide. We are waiting for the updates...

Something must have gone wrong there, my custom gesture "GestureRight, GestureDown, GestureRight" for Undo has stopped working. I tried both redefining it and removing the visual hints. With the visual hints enabled, after right and down the hint shows that there is one possible way to go, right, but does not display a description nor actually undoes anything when I complete the gesture.

Is there any way to put the bookmark tool bar back where it used to be? I like it better when it was over the tab bar.

You can do it using appearance window.

Opera going for world domination! Enjoying Opera 11, thx.

But please tell me: I need to see the guy "behind" the voice in your promo videos! I just like his subtle enthusiasm
Refcon16. December 2010, 20:30
Everything looks nice and new on 11 like a new Ferrari

Will give the extensions a spin soon

I'm ready but Opera 11 is not. Giantbomb videos still don't work. Nice job!
Claudette Gabbs16. December 2010, 21:43
I tried in appearance, but couldn't get the bookmark bar to go above the tab bar.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5227239/site-not-secure-or-is-it.png <- Are you for real? The connection is not secure because the site does not support TLS renegotiation? Renegotiation is there only for the speed-up and provides absolutely no extra protection. It might, in fact, even worsen the protection -- see http://www.educatedguesswork.org/2009/11/understanding_the_tls_renegoti.html

I'm having a little problem with Opera 11 stable. Website www.rottentomatoes.com doesnt work properly. Every movie has it's score from the review by all critics or top critics. When I'm trying to switch to check the score All Critics/Top Critics ... it doesn't switch. Nothing happens when I click on them.

I tried reinstalling, "masking as firefox", turning java script/css styles on/off and nothing.
I'm on Windows XP Pro SP3. Any ideas? Worked fine on =<10.63 and 11.0 alpha.
