Opera might not be as popular as some of its rivals (at least not yet), but the developing team behind the application is frequently adding new features to the browser in order to make it better and improve the overall experience that users get after installing it.
Opera 24 was officially launched this morning, coming with a major improvement that’s supposed to help those working with a plethora of tabs at the same time find the website they’re looking for faster.
Tab previews have already been available in the beta version of Opera 24, but they’re now here in the stable build, working faster and without any major glitch.
Basically, all you need to do is move your mouse cursor over a tab running in the background to get a quick view at the website and thus know if that’s the website that you want to click or not.
“With 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,” Thorben Bochenek, JavaScript engineer, Opera Software, explained.
Even though it’s pretty clear that this option comes in handy to those working with lots of tabs, Opera says that even those with just a few tabs could find it useful because it offers enhanced management options to everyone.
At the same time, Opera 24 also comes with a better look on high-resolution displays, as the development team has specifically worked on making the browser better on 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!” Bochenek added.
As was the case of the previous build, the private browsing window now comes with a new color to make it easier for users to manage running Opera windows on your computer, especially when working with both browsing modes.
Needless to say, everyone should get and install the new version, so click the download links below to find the version that’s working on your computer.
