Opera heeft versie 24 van zijn gelijknamige webbrowser uitgebracht. Opera is verleden jaar overgestapt van de in eigen huis ontwikkelde render-engine Presto naar Blink. Deze maakt deel uit van Chromium, dat onder meer ook door Google Chrome gebruikt wordt. Opera is beschikbaar voor Windows en OS X. Er zijn ook versies voor Linux, BSD en Solaris, maar deze zijn nog op de oude technologie gebaseerd. Nieuw in versie 24 is onder meer de mogelijkheid om een preview van een andere tab te zien, zonder de huidige tab te hoeven verlaten. De complete release notes voor deze uitgave zijn hieronder te vinden.
Tab previews help you find tabs faster in Opera 24
Tabs are so handy and easy to open that we sometimes end up opening too many of them – so many that we don’t know which one is which. If you’ve had this experience and could use a little help with identifying your open tabs, we have awesome news for you.
Opera 24, we give you our unique tab previews that help you find the tab you want. When you hover a tab, a preview inside the main browsing area gives you a peek into its contents. Lost one of your tabs? Previews help you find it. Locating and switching to the correct tab has never been easier.
But, even if you are not using many tabs, previews can still come in handy. Do you want to check if something’s new on Facebook quickly, without losing focus on what you are actually doing? The previews are big enough to get a glimpse of your Facebook tab without actually switching over to it.
If you’re on a Windows computer, we think you will also enjoy these improvements:
Crisper look on higher-resolution screens
Opera 24 for Windows makes full use of your higher-resolution, or HiDPI, screens. These screens have more pixels packed into the same area as normal screens, which means that rounded corners and text can look much crisper. Now, our user interface looks crystal clear on such displays. And wait until you can experience your favorite websites in HiDPI. We’re sure you will love it!
Private window color
Private browsing ensures that your internet history and activity are removed as soon as you close all private windows. We’ve made private windows more distinct from normal windows by changing their background color on Windows. Now, you easily can pick out and close all of your private browsing.
