Opera 11.50 beta Web Browser Launches Today

By Nathan Kirsch

Today, Opera Swordfish, or the Opera 11.50 beta browser if you go by code names, becomes available for immediate testing. The new beta of Operas desktop browser transforms the popular Speed Dial feature by adding extensions to the mix. Speed Dial extensions transform your Speed Dial from a simple thumbnail bookmark into a dynamic source of updated content, available in every new tab. What does that mean? Instead of a static link to a weather website, a Speed Dial extension can display the forecast for your specific location. To learn more about Speed Dial Extensions, watch the Developers guide to Speed Dial extensions:

We dont make releases for the sake of releases, nor do we make innovations for the sake of innovation, said Jan Standal, VP of desktop products, Opera. We create browsers that make the Web faster and easier to use, and the newest features in Swordfish support that goal.
