Dinsdag is de eerste release candidate van versie 11.00 van de webbrowser Opera uitgebracht en woensdag de tweede. Het gelijknamige Noorse bedrijf heeft browsers voor alle belangrijke computerplatforms en voor een groot aantal mobiele platforms. De browser biedt tabs, kan worden aangestuurd met mouse gestures, heeft een ingebakken downloadmanager en biedt bescherming tegen phishing en malware. Er kan met Opera niet alleen worden gesurfd, maar ook gemaild, er is een ingebouwde bittorrentclient en er kan worden gechat via irc of met het door Opera zelf ontwikkelde sociale netwerk Unite. Versie 11.00 maakt gebruik van versie 2.7 van de rendering engine Presto, wat de snelheid en stabiliteit ten goede moet komen. Verder kan de functionaliteit verder worden uitgebreid met behulp van extensies, kunnen tabs worden gestapeld en is er een auto-update functie. Het changelog van deze release ziet er als volgt uit:
