Opera heeft de eerste bètarelease van versie 11.60 van zijn gelijknamige webbrowser uitgebracht. Opera heeft browsers voor alle belangrijke computerplatforms en voor een groot aantal mobiele besturingssystemen. 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 gesurft, 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. De uitgebreide lijst met veranderingen sinds versie 11.52 kan hier worden gevonden. Dit zijn de belangrijkste verbeteringen die versie 11.60 met zich meebrengt:
Code nameOpera Presto 2.10 rendering engine
- Opera 11.60 beta uses "Tunny" as its code name.
Opera Mail
- Opera 11.60 beta uses the latest version of the Opera Presto 2.10 rendering engine.
The user interface for Opera Mail has been redesigned.
Featherweight address field with star menu
- Two-lined message list: Opera Mail will now default to "list on the left, message on the right", with the newest message on top, and always showing message threads.
- Mail grouping: Opera will automatically group messages by date. You can also group them by unread status, by pinned status, or not at all.
- Cleaned up look: The mail toolbars are simplified, and icons have been redesigned.
- New settings dialogs: The "View" dropdown menu with all its sub-menus has been replaced by an overlay dialog that can be reached by clicking the "wrench" button.
- Pinning: You can now "pin" messages with one click in the message list or in the message headers, to mark a message for attention. This pinning is mapped to the IMAP \Flagged feature, so it corresponds to "starring" and "flagging" in other IMAP clients, and with Gmail's starred messages.
- See: Mail goes two-lined and grouped
The star menu in the address field allows you to quickly bookmark a page or to create a Speed Dial entry.

HTML5 Parser
- Implemented the HTML5 parsing algorithm
- The HTML5 specification defines a set of parsing rules for all markup, whether valid or invalid. Once all browsers have HTML5 parsers, the same markup will produce the same DOM across all conforming browsers. Hence, the HTML5 parser will improve website compatibility.
