Opera 12 alpha downloadable soon

Opera Software teased some of the new features coming to the next version of its browser, including hardware-accelerated 3D graphics and accessing a directly-connected webcam.

Sigh do you still have three search bars? Ridiculous. Two for google and one for bing. Overkill.

Looks interesting, I'll expect the download on Friday.

All optional... you can actually have none if you want, and do the search as with all the old Opera's right in the address bar. Bing have a sponsored default search thing in the speeddial upon 1st install... but all can be switched off in the preferences. I think that Opera comes with 6 or 8 search engines in the default install

PS: let me know if it renders Google's Gmail UI correctly--mine it stuck at "compact view"
